God I was tired last night.  Why can I write code for 19 hours a day
all weekend, and, poof no problem, while one 3 hour meeting with
lawyers and accountants turns my brain into glue?  I must thank
Jacob Hallén, the founder of the company who usually handles this sort of
junk more.  No wonder he is bitching about not getting to write enough
code.  And he is the author of the recipe I am promoting ....

Ok, as the effbot would write: reset my brain.

Here is what I should have began saying.

In Tk version 8.0, support for Win32 was suddenly withdrawn for
createfilehandler.  so you can't use 
self.socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
self.socket.bind('', wherever)

At this point my brain is supposed to issue an interrupt and say
'look, idiot, did he say anything about Tkinter' and I am supposed
to thank my brain for fulfilling one of its useful functions and
keeping me from making an ass of myself in public.  This is the
part that didn't happen.

Instead I get to thank Oleg Broytmann for keeping the damage I
did with my stupidity small.  And being so polite about it, too.

Apologies everybody!  Thank you Oleg.
