Maybe it isn't supported on enough platforms, it varies too much by
platform, or maybe you're just the first person to want it. :) You could
submit a patch to SourceForge if nobody here pipes up with a good reason
for it not being in the socket module already.

And, in the meantime, you can use Pyrex/PyInline/ctypes or even a very
tiny C extension module to access that function.
