    No - it's just what I said. create_socket creates one socket and passes
    it to read_socket and write_socket. read_socket calls connect on the
    socket it is passed. write_socket calls accept on the socket it is passed.
    So a single socket has connect and accept called on it. Now, main does
    call create_socket twice, so this does happen to two sockets, but it's
    broken in each case.

    Two threads per socket is a bad design. :(

    It's complicated so that applications using it don't have to be. It's
    easier to write network code with Twisted than with the socket and
    threading modules.
