[Pythonmac-SIG] Something not right with sockets...

MacPython IDE 1.0.1
>>>  from socket import socket, AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM
>>>  s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
>>>  s.sendto('Bing!', ('128.235.245.112',43278) )
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<input>", line 1, in ?
error: (57, 'Socket is not connected')


In the socket documentation it says:

sendto(string[, flags], address)
     Send data to the socket. The socket should not be connected to
     a remote socket, since the destination socket is specified by
     address. The optional flags argument has the same meaning as for
     recv() above. Return the number of bytes sent. (The format of
     address depends on the address family -- see above.)

I wouldn't expect the socket to need to be connected, since 
SOCK_DGRAM is connectionless.  Help!
