Patch by Jp Calderone:
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
See SF patch #658327.
This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).
