That code in socket.py is much older that functools... I don't know if the dependency matters, probably not. But anyways this is moot, the bug was only about exec in a class body nested inside a function.

Indeed, I just hate seeing execs and it was an interesting mental exercise to try and get rid of the above one ;-)

Assuming it breaks no tests, would there be objection to me committing the above change to the Python 3 trunk?
