Python 1.5.2 would be a bit of trouble, because thats a very
old version. But, read on.

No not in the docs, although you might want to read

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-socket.html


What I was talking about were some examples in the *source distribution*
available on the www.python.org site (menu "Download").
Python 1.5.2 is still available, although I strongly suggest you
use Python 2.2.2 (the current stable version).
