What does this even mean?  "google.com" is a domain, not a server
(though it does forward to "www.google.com").  And port 0?  Does
anything listen on port 0?  Sounds like OS X is the only platform that
gets this right :-).  Try this:

  s.connect(('www.google.com', 80))

for instance, to connect to the Web server.
