Are you doing this?
import socket
from socket import AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM
UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)

>>> TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


When you should be calling socket.socket, or from socket import socket.

This code runs in SPE:

from socket import socket, AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM

host = "localhost"
port = 21568
buf = 1024
addr = (host,port)
msg = 'foo'

UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
UDPSock.sendto(msg,addr)
UDPSock.close()
