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

>>> import socket

>>> 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:

Now you get an error message like:

TypeError: getsockaddrarg: AF_INET address must be tuple, not string
