socket.connect question about parenthesis

[pace]

Hi everyone,

I have been starting out with python over the past 8 months. I know I'm just at the start of my journey, and this is the first programming language that I have been working with.

I am currently playing around with socket.
My question is simple, why do I need double parenthesis sock.connect((ipaddress, port)), to get my program to work?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

import socket #from IPy import IP   ipaddress = input("Enter target to scan: ") port = 80   #Esablish a connection to a port using socket try:     sock = socket.socket()     sock.connect((ipaddress, port))     print("[+] Port 80 is open: ") except:     print("[-] Port 80 is closed: ")

The answer is simple, the method socket.connect.connect() takes a single argument, the address where the socket should connect. For a socket of the AF_INET family type (the default), the address is a tuple with two elements (host, port). So you are not using double parentheses, you are passing a single argument which is a tuple.
