There is no such thing as explicit casting in python. You can coerce 
values to values of another type - e.g. float("1.0"), and there are some 
"magic" methods to support that (for that example __float__)

However, that doesn't seem to be your problem. You just pass the wrong 
arguments, which makes the jython wrapping punke on you as only certain 
types can be dealt with.

To me this looks as if you are supposed to do it like this:

self.socket.connect(self.host, self.port)

Note the missing parentheses.
