Thank you for reading this.
I'm a bit out of my depth here. I'm attempting to set up a simple udp
client.
The example that follows results in an error message and I'm wondering
if I should be importing a different module. A Google search doesn't
support that idea.

host = 'localhost';
port = 8888;

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_INET'
Looks to me like you have your own file socket.py in /home/phil/Python
and that it has the line that's causing the exception.
That file hides the one in the system library, so please rename it to
something else.
