Subclassing socket

[Maksim Kasimov]

you have to agregate socket and the object must have "fileno" method,
thats gives a possibility to use instanses of your class with "select.select" function


class mySocket:

     def __init__(self, ...):
         self.__socket = None
	...


     def fileno(self):
         return self.__socket.fileno()


     def connect(self, __host, __port):
         try:
             self.close()
             self.__socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
             self.__socket.connect((__host, __port))
	    ...


     def close(self):
         try:
             if self.__socket is not None:
                 self.__socket.close()
         finally:
             self.__socket = None

     ...
