I installed this binary package

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/python23-2.3.5_1.tbz

on my freebsd 6.1 system and while testing had a problem related to 
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/_socket.so (it didn't appear to be there).

When I build from the source of the package it seems OK. Is this a bug? The 
binary install mentioned certain bits might be missing, but socket wasn't one of 
them. If it is a bug what's the reporting mechanism?
