Functions
		fromfd(...) fromfd(fd, family, type[, proto]) -> socket object   Create a socket object from the given file descriptor. The remaining arguments are the same as for socket(). gethostbyaddr(...) gethostbyaddr(host) -> (name, aliaslist, addresslist)   Return the true host name, a list of aliases, and a list of IP addresses, for a host.  The host argument is a string giving a host name or IP number. gethostbyname(...) gethostbyname(host) -> address   Return the IP address (a string of the form '255.255.255.255') for a host. gethostbyname_ex(...) gethostbyname_ex(host) -> (name, aliaslist, addresslist)   Return the true host name, a list of aliases, and a list of IP addresses, for a host.  The host argument is a string giving a host name or IP number. gethostname(...) gethostname() -> string   Return the current host name. getprotobyname(...) getprotobyname(name) -> integer   Return the protocol number for the named protocol.  (Rarely used.) getservbyname(...) getservbyname(servicename, protocolname) -> integer   Return a port number from a service name and protocol name. The protocol name should be 'tcp' or 'udp'. htonl(...) htonl(integer) -> integer   Convert a 32-bit integer from host to network byte order. htons(...) htons(integer) -> integer   Convert a 16-bit integer from host to network byte order. inet_aton(...) inet_aton(string) -> packed 32-bit IP representation   Convert an IP address in string format (123.45.67.89) to the 32-bit packed binary format used in low-level network functions. inet_ntoa(...) inet_ntoa(packed_ip) -> ip_address_string   Convert an IP address from 32-bit packed binary format to string format ntohl(...) ntohl(integer) -> integer   Convert a 32-bit integer from network to host byte order. ntohs(...) ntohs(integer) -> integer   Convert a 16-bit integer from network to host byte order. socket(...) socket(family, type[, proto]) -> socket object   Open a socket of the given type.  The family argument specifies the address family; it is normally AF_INET, sometimes AF_UNIX. The type argument specifies whether this is a stream (SOCK_STREAM) or datagram (SOCK_DGRAM) socket.  The protocol argument defaults to 0, specifying the default protocol. ssl(...) ssl(socket, keyfile, certfile) -> sslobject
