python: ImportError: No module named _socket

[mmadia]

The  python-2.6.2-x86-gcc2-2009-07-07.zip package is missing the module _socket. The  2009-05-27.zip works as expected.

Here is the location of  haikubuildomatic class-rewrite, which exposes the issue.

This has been fixed with the python package dated 2009-07-12, so I'm closing this ticket.
