Shane, there are major differences between the makefile docs versions 2 and 3, 
so could you prepare a patch for this addressed at version 2 only?

[issue14303] Incorrect documentation for socket.py on linux

[Shane Hansen]

New submission from Shane Hansen :

The python docs state that for socket.makefile "The file object references a 
dup()ped version of the socket file descriptor, so the file object and socket 
object may be closed or garbage-collected independently."

In fact for socket.py dup() is never called, and no additional files are 
opened. Instead an object is returned which uses the original socket and does 
buffering.

For me, this is the desired behaviour, but just thought I'd mention the docs 
were off.
