Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rod...@gmail.com> added the comment:

We already have 3 places where a tuple is used:

socket.socket.bind
socket.create_connection
http.client.HTTPConnection

Changing this notation in smtplib for such a rarely used feature is not worth 
the effort, imo.
Also, I would not add two new SMTP attributes. Passing a tuple to 
socket.create_connection() is just fine. If you want to know the source address 
afterwards you can use socket.getsockname().

PS - I modified smtplib.py in meantime. Please update your local copy.
