Issue with socket in Cygwin #267
Description
Until Python 3.6.9 Xlib is working in Cygwin. However, now having upgraded to Python 3.6.13 I noticed that Xlib is now unable to connect to X11. The same error appears for Python 3.8 and 3.9. After overwriting _socket.cpython-36m-x86_64-cygwin.dll with the one from 3.6.9 Xlib is working again, so my guess is that this is due to some change in the socket module.
I debugged the issue a bit and found this to be working in Python 3.6.9

Any help would be much appreciated!
