Thanks Dave,

I woke up during the early hours of the morning and realised what was 
going on. The name of my python file was not the same as the module but 
it was prefixed "socket" and than seems to be enough to cause a problem.

The udp client still doesn't do what I want but at least the example 
runs without an error.
