An attempt to use sockets for the first time yesterday left a friend of mine bewildered:

>>> import socket >>> s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) >>> s.connect('localhost:234') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: 2-sequence, 13-sequence >>>

"What the heck does '2-sequence, 13-sequence' mean?" he rightfully asked.

I'm not sure about the general case, but in this case you could do something like: http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=102599&group_id=5470 Now you get an error message like: TypeError: getsockaddrarg: AF_INET address must be tuple, not string Cheers, M. -- I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is my own. -- Montaigne
