Subclassing socket

[Pelmen]

imho:
class new_socket(socket):
    def __init__(self, family=AF_INET, type=SOCK_STREAM, proto=0,
_sock=None)
       socket.__init__(self, family=AF_INET, type=SOCK_STREAM, proto=0,
_sock=None)

    def accept( self ):
        conn, addr = socket.accept()
       return ( new_socket(_sock=conn), addr )

but i think your problem have a more simple way then inheritance
