Well hold on for a minute, I remember we used to have an exec

But why an exec?! Surely there must be some other way to do this than an
exec?
Maybe, but this sure is gnarly code:
_s = ("def %s(self, *args): return self._sock.%s(*args)\n\n"
"%s.__doc__ = _realsocket.%s.__doc__\n")
for _m in _socketmethods:
exec _s % (_m, _m, _m, _m)
del _m, _s
Guido's memory is good, that's from the _socketobject class in
socket.py.
