Talking about a testcase, if you want to submit a bug report, could
you please apply a simple, self-contained, OOTB testcase, written in
plain C, which shows what's going on?  I just see an EINPROGRESS error
message above and I don't speak Python.  If this is something Cygwin
induced, then I see only two potential problems, both in connect(). 
Either a connect is called twice on a blocking socket, or a connection
fails and the error code is wrong for some reason.  A simple testcase
would help enormously.
