I know, but, I was thinking of it taking the fileno() of some other socket object as argument. In any case I think the test should not be based on whether os.name == 'nt' but on the presence of something in the _socket module.

I know, but, I was thinking of it taking the fileno() of some other
socket object as argument.

In any case I think the test should not be based on whether os.name ==
