This line used to work under 1.6:
sd.connect (routerlanip, 80)
Now it returns the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "linksysdynhostsync.py", line 89, in ?
    sd.connect (routerlanip, 80)
  File "<string>", line 1, in connect
TypeError: connect requires exactly 1 argument; 2 given

The "sd" object is opened as follows:
sd = socket.socket (socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
The variable "routerlanip" is set to an IP address e.g. 10.0.0.1
HELP

[gvanrossum]

connect() was always documented as having a single 'address' argument, but the implementation was lax and allowed s.connect(host, port) instead of s.connect((host, port)). This was fixed in 2.0, just as list.append(a,b,c) is no longer allowed and must now be written as list.append((a,b,c)).
