socket error

[Duke]

I'm using Python 1.5.2 for Windows 98, and am trying to do some socket
stuff.  Copying an example right out of the manual (section 7.2.2), I get
the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\Programming\Python\Tools\idle\ScriptBinding.py", line 131, in
run_module_event
    execfile(filename, mod.__dict__)
  File "C:/Programming/Python/socket.py", line 5, in ?
    s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
NameError: socket

Here are the first 5 lines in the script:

# Test server script
from socket import *
HOST = ''
PORT = 50007
s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)

The example I'm using works fine on my Linux box Python interpreter, version
1.5.2.
Any ideas?
If you need more info on hardware or software, let me know.
Thanks,
