No, they can't.
"Connecting" a UDP socket doesn't established a duplex connection like
in TCP: it's just a shortand for not having to repeat the destination
address upon every sendto()/sendmsg().

And since shutdown() is designed for duplex connection, it doesn't
really make much sense. It might very well work when you passe SHUT_RD
because it can be interpreted as triggering an EOF, but I wouldn't
rely on this.

So you see it's not a Python "bug". It's really not a bug at all, but
if you want to report this upstream, have fun :-).
