I think you are fooling yourself about this error.

  >>> import socket
  >>> type(socket.AF_INET)
<type 'int'>
  >>>

You would appear to have some code that reads something like

     socket.AF_INET( ... )

which is clearly wrong, since AF_INET is an integer intended to indicate 
the address family required at the creation of a socket.
