If you think we need a better tool, that's a different story, but not an argument for cluttering up the socket module with a more or less complete list of C constants. It's much easier to maintain this outside the socket module in a separate, platform specific module. This also has the advantage of being able to see whether a constant is available on a specific platform or not and also provides access to platform specific constants that would otherwise not be available. BTW: Can you point me to a bug report where an h2py generated IN.py has failed to include important symbols ?
