I added get_inheritable() and set_inheritable() methods to

Agreed that guessing whether something's a handle or not is terrible. If
this is truly only for sockets then maybe it should live in the socket
module?

return os.get_handle_inheritable(sock.fileno())
else:

Hi,
I have a new question for my PEP 446 (inheritance of file descriptors).

to avoid it. The problem is that a socket would require a different
function depend
