    Research direction

    Start by reviewing the socket extension-module implementation and PR #21127, which is linked in the issue body. Confirm how Python 3.x handles the removed IN-module values and the intended IP_PORTRANGE* coverage. Done means the socket API fills the stated gap and the relevant behavior is covered by the project's tests.
