Yes, under Linux, Python >= 2.0, for some values of "support
raw socket".

I don't believe that AF_INET,SOCK_RAW is supported (I don't
know what it would do if it were).

I know that  socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, EthernetProtoNumber)
works.

With PF_PACKET,SOCK_RAW sockets you should use send() and
recv() methods.
