The socket.py source reveals that you can do it like this: mysocket = socket.socket(_sock=socket.fromfd(...)) The code has from _socket import socket # actually a star import ... _realsocket = socket ... socket = _socketobject which looks very much like an ad-hoc hack gone permanent. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
