Is there a reason not to pick up Seo's version?  His "license" ("do whatever ... you want") would certainly allow it.  Is the wheel he built not round enough?

We ran into one problem with this: the standard socket.py module has an implicit dependency upon CPython's reference counting garbage collector (for implementing dup).  We considered a hack to make this work but ultimately rejected it in favor of implementing "socket" instead replacing the standard Python module.   Unfortunately makefile didn't make it - and that looks like the same thing for ssl (it's present in CPythons socket but not _socket).
