Oh <expletive deleted>.

socket.sendto can't currently be converted to Argument Clinic.  There's legacy, and then there's the cruelty that only 1993-style argument parsing can inflict.  (socket.sendto's argument parsing was checked in in revision ac3c80abbf43 from 1993 by Guido.)

I'll keep it in mind for the future, but it's really pretty twisted.
