Use UDP (datagram) sockets. Use sendto() and not connect(), because UDP is
connectionless. This should work:
import socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
sock.sendto(b"thedata", 0, ("<broadcast>", 9999)) # 9999 = port
sock.close()
