Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

I'm fine with disabling this feature in xmlrpclib.py, and possibly even
in httplib.py.

I'm *not* fine with "fixing" this behavior in socket.py -- the unittest
coverage is unfortunately small and we have had plenty of trouble in
this area in the past.  It is there for a reason, even if that reason is
hard to fathom and poorly documented.

Fortunately in 3.0 it's gone (or, more likely, replaced with a different
set of issues :-).
