TCP Fast Open should be supported in client code directly, it's not enough to have socket() supporting it. It's not up to socket() implementation.

Server-side is pretty simple, so to say "Python supports TCP_FASTOPEN" there should be support implemented for each (or most) client libraries in stdlib, such as almost every module in http://docs.python.org/3/library/internet.html


Monkey-patching all these modules (or their connect() parts) is not very clean way, I think.
