Socket objects have a makefile() method that will return a file object.

    s = socket.socket(...)
    socket.connect(....)
    f = s.makefile()
    for l in f.readlines():
        process_lines()

(Also, note that you should not assign the result of the connect method.  I
believe it simply returns None.)
