I can see that. I think you and I are thinking along the same lines. >From my point of view, the punter has already chosen Lisp as the base language & they're trying to get something out to prototype quickly. They run into some area (sockets appears to be a sensitive one) where Lisp is weak. Instead of spending time choosing or creating a solution, they can breifly step into the Python world, where there is generally just one well supported library. When the app is working nicely they can choose to leave the Python in, or replace it with a fully Lisp solution.
