Having surprisingly little opportunity to call socket.connect directly in my work (considering the bulk of my programming is for the web), I'll note for the record that the direct calls I've made to socket.connect all have two arguments: host and port. It never occurred to me that there would even be a one-argument version. After all, why look at the docs for help if what you're doing already works?
