Here is a more complicated example, since the above does technically have an alternative fix: sockobj.sendmsg(buffers[, ancdata[, flags[, address]]]) -> sockobj.sendmsg(buffers, ancdata=None, flags=0, address=None)

As far as I understand you should convert these with the "optional group" syntax (i.e. brackets).
