Bug report

Bug description:

socket.socketpair() has a fall-back implementation on platforms that don't support socket.AF_UNIX which uses AF_INET[6] sockets bound to localhost. This connection is expected to come from the same process.

CPython versions tested on:

CPython main branch

Operating systems tested on:

Linux, Windows
