Amaury Forgeot d Arc <[email protected]> added the comment:

_decref_socketios() comes from Python 3, where it was decided that sockets 
should not rely 
on reference counting (cf. ResourceWarning). IIRC this is also important for 
ssl sockets, 
which may create cycles.

I also saw the small inconsistency of eventlets which use raw _socket.socket 
instead of 
socket._socketobject.  IMO this is the one to fix, but I could not find the 
place.
