jython is currently at version 2.5. socket.create_connection was introduced in cpython 2.6, and will be introduced in jython 2.6. It was introduced as more than a convenience function: it's real purpose was to centralise the creation of sockets for dependent libraries such as httplib, ftplib, telnetlib, etc. Still, obviously some people use it directly, and that's ok. I'll have a look at introducing it in a point release of jython 2.5. It's definitely a documentation bug that it appears in the jython 2.5 documentation.
