You are trying to subclass a module here, just like the error message
says. The module contains a `socket` type:
In [3]: import socket
In [4]: type(socket)
Out[4]: <type 'module'>
In [5]: type(socket.socket)
Out[5]: <type 'type'>
`select.select()` is a function:
In [6]: import select
In [7]: type(select.select)
Out[7]: <type 'builtin_function_or_method'>
