Tarek, 

There doesn't appear to be a function in stdlib to cover that particular case. 

Doug Hellman has a nice section on finding service info here: 

http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/socket/addressing.html

It wouldn't be "built-in", but it looks like it would be pretty simple to get 
the info you need. 

Best regards, 

JS
