Why should new enums be documented and how are they useful?
IMO socket module adopted enum module only to provide a better representation of AF_* and SOCK_* constants on repr(), which is fine.
The fact that in order to do that enum module forces you to create a container is incidental and should not result in polluting socket module API (which is already pretty crowded).
In summary I'd be for renaming those enums to _SocketType and _AddressFamily.
