I propose that we use inetaton to implement PySocketinetaton (am I clever or what). The part that I don't know, how portable is this function? Does it exist on Mac and Windows?

This is the tricky part of any such change: Nobody knows, and you have to test it on a wide variety of platforms before it is acceptable. That atleast includes Windows, OS X, and one or two other flavours of Unix (Linux libc6 typically being one of them).
