title: When I import socket in python, why does it skip socket.bind?
body: <p>I think every method except bind is in there. I type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import socket
  socket.bind
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in the python command prompt, and get "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bind'".</p>
  
  <p>If I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from socket import bind
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get "ImportError: cannot import name bind"</p>
  
  <p>Otherwise, dir(socket) returns 297 and everything else seems to work fine. Like I have socket.socket, socket.setsockopt, etc. Just bind doesn't exist.</p>
  
  <p>I am in Mint 16 running python 2.7.5+. The same happens in python 3.3.2+, and in Python 2.7.3 on an ubuntu 12.04 vm on the same machine.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what's going on?</p>
