Hi, Dave...

I believe the following is true...the pattern certainly is and the remark
about sockets.

time.mktime() always took a tuple, but now it only takes that, rather than
being relaxed and taking the tuple members as separate parameters.  Just
find the existing call and insert another parenthesis pair around the
arguments.  [Inside the existing (), outside it, or mixed.  ;-)]

Some other calls have been tightened up the same way (the constructor for
sockets being one).
