Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

I don't think mimicking EBADF is very useful. Reading from a closed socket is 
usually a programming error, so it's not the kind of error you'll want to catch 
at runtime.

AttributeError may not be very pretty though, so perhaps a ValueError can be 
raised as with closed files:

>>> f = open("LICENSE")
>>> f.close()
>>> f.read()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file.
