New submission from Karl Ding <karl.jw.d...@gmail.com>:

It would be nice to have support J1939 sockets.

Support for J1939 landed as part of the SAE J1939 SocketCAN patches, which are 
available after the Linux 5.4rc1 kernel. This is another protocol family for 
SocketCAN, much like the existing support for ISOTP and BCM.

Effectively, supporting this would hand off as much to the kernel as possible, 
which gives Python programs the ability deal with J1939 without having to 
implement the logic existing in the kernel in userspace.

This is provided to userspace [0] via the <linux/can/j1939.h> header.

I'd be happy to work on this and provide a PR.
