You are somehow using socket.py in stead of the builtin socket module. If you 
are using Python 1.3.2 or later you should be getting the builtin module when 
you import socket...

If you are using an older python: at some point there was a name conflict 
between the mactcp and MACTCP modules, this could be what is bothering you. I 
don't remember the exact fix anymore, though, so I'd suggest you just 
upgrade...
