That said, it may be useful to have a PyPI package which implements the FastOpen protocol in a separate socket implementation (which can then monkey itself into the stdlib, if the application developer wants this).

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.

Right, the new methods would have to be used by the application.

Server-side is pretty simple, so to say "Python supports TCPFASTOPEN" 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.

Of course not, but it's viable way to test drive such an implementation before putting the code directly into the stdlib modules.

gevent uses the same approach, BTW.
