It's more probable that a use pass a list of two values, that a host of
two letters as you suggested above...

Won't be necessary if we take into account the explicit timeout
parameter...

I already agreed on this, :)
So, as a resume:
- I'll make "timeout" mandatory
- The function signature will be:
create_connection(address[, timeout])
See that timeout doesn't have a default value, if you include it, it'll
set the socket timeout, if you don't, the defaultimeout will work.
The address is a tuple (host, port), as usual
In the code, I'll just make "host, port = address", I don't think it
will be a problem at all. Remember that this function primary use is for
higher level libraries, and that "address" in socket enviroment is
always, always, (host, port).
