BeOS also has its own socket.py wrapper, to provide some functions BeOS itself is missing (dup, makefile, fromfd, ...) I'm not sure if that's still necessary, though, perhaps BeOS decided to implement those functions in a later version ?

Sounds very close to what Windows left out. As for *nixen, there are some differences between BSD and SysV sockets, but they're really, really arcane.
