This works:

========================================================================
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys, socket, os

def main():
    s = socket.socket()
    s.connect(("mail.python.org", 25))
    if os.fork() > 0:
        s.close()
        os.wait()
        os._exit(0)
    while True:
        data = s.recv(50)
        sys.stderr.write("{}\n".format(repr(data)))
        if not data:
            break

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
========================================================================
