-## This module implements portable sockets, it supports a mix of different types
-## of sockets. Sockets are buffered by default meaning that data will be
-## received in ``BufferSize`` (4000) sized chunks, buffering
-## behaviour can be disabled by setting the ``buffered`` parameter when calling
-## the ``socket`` function to `False`. Be aware that some functions may not yet
-## support buffered sockets (mainly the recvFrom function).
-##
-## Most procedures raise EOS on error, but some may return ``-1`` or a boolean
-## ``False``.
-##
-## SSL is supported through the OpenSSL library. This support can be activated
-## by compiling with the ``-d:ssl`` switch. When an SSL socket is used it will
-## raise ESSL exceptions when SSL errors occur.
-##
-## Asynchronous sockets are supported, however a better alternative is to use
-## the `asyncio <asyncio.html>`_ module.
