- Explicitly check that the address passed is a tuple of (string, integer)

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

- To raise an exception explaining the parameter expectation when it is not met

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

- To require that the user explicitly name the timeout parameter

I already agreed on this, :)

So, as a resume:

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).
