Quote - I want to use the WinSock in Python.

You don't need WinSock specifically as Python already has plenty of socket / networking protocol modules (e.g. socket, ftpllib, telnetlib, httplib, nntplib, smtplib, xmlrpclib) and higher level classes (e.g. SocketServer, SimpleHTTPServer, SimpleXMLRPCServer) which are all cross platform.

Check the documentation to see what's available (start with the socket module, as that's closest to the low level stuff that WinSock provides).
