And he might not have to do either, depending on what his situation
really is. For example, if his socket is always going to be connected
(in the case of a TCP socket) I expect checking something about the peer
would be a quick way to tell the difference, since UDP sockets don't
shouldn't have peers. (I'm assuming, not having tested... but I think
there are probably such approaches that don't involve either _sock or
repr(). Let's see what the OP reveals.)
