64 | The modules described in this chapter implement Internet protocols and | |
65 | support for related technology. They are all implemented in Python. | |
66 | Most of these modules require the presence of the system-dependent | |
67 | module <tt class="module"><a href="module-socket.html">socket</a></tt><a id='l2h-3140' xml:id='l2h-3140'></a>, which is currently | |
68 | supported on most popular platforms. Here is an overview: | |
