Return a :dfn:`file object` associated with the socket. (File objects are
described in :ref:`bltin-file-objects`.) The file object
references a :c:func:`dup`\ ped version of the socket file descriptor, so the
file object and socket object may be closed or garbage-collected independently.
described in :ref:`bltin-file-objects`.) The file object does not close the
socket explicitly when its :meth:`close` method is called, but only removes
its reference to the socket object, so that the socket will be closed if it
is not referenced from anywhere else.
The socket must be in blocking mode (it can not have a timeout). The optional
*mode* and *bufsize* arguments are interpreted the same way as by the built-in
:func:`file` function.
