While investigating #2125, I tried to use socket_util in main.

This only works with the attached patch.

Thanks, applied both: r27941 + r27942. Will backport.

Out of curiosity, how did it fail for you?

It's best to import from xpra.scripts.config directly but importing it indirectly from xpra.scripts.main should still work:

python3 -c "from xpra.scripts.main import InitExit"

If you try to use a function socket_util in main, e.g.

from xpra.net.socket_util import parse_bind_vsock

it gives the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'parse_bind_vsock' from partially initialized module 'xpra.net.socket_util' (most likely due to a circular import)
