"import socket" error

Hi,

I am following this tutorial
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webap...7PythonSockets
( free reg. req. )

The article told me to do this:

[camus]$ python
Python 2.4 (#1, Feb 20 2005, 11:25:45)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more
information.
import socket
socket.gethostb yname('www.ibm. com') '129.42.19.99'
When I try it, I get this error: import socket Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 1, in ?
# Wrapper module for _socket, providing some additional facilities
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/SocketServer.py ", line 274, in ?
class TCPServer(BaseS erver):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/SocketServer.py ", line 317, in TCPServer
address_family = socket.AF_INET
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_INET'

Why? Thank you.

Hello, I have written an app which opens a TCP connection to a server and uses a protocol to communicate with it. Specifically, I've written a python IMD client for the molecular dynamics application 'NAMD' (do searches for IMD and NAMD if you want to learn more). The protocol is very simple: both ends of the TCP connection can send messages to the other side at any time; when data is available on a read socket, a full packet (with known...

Hi, I've been trying to embed (statically) wxPy alongside an embedded py interpreter on a linux/gtk box. At one point, for some reason misc.o linking reported "multiple definitions of wxGetFreeMemory()". Since wxGetFreeMemory() seemed effectively unused in gtk, I just commented it out in misc_wrap.cpp (didn't want to patch SWIG to regenerate the wrapper code, so hacked the generated cpp source), and replaced...

I just learn to make a blank windows frame with python and wxpython. I found the statment "import wx" cannot work as the original "from wxPython.wx import *". I see in the readme file of wxpython that if I install it as the default one, I can use "import wx" instead of the long one. What is wrong? The code pasted below: import wx # the default is "from wxPython.wx import *", I change it and it just can't work. class MyApp(wxApp):

I have an application that opens a socket and connects to another application listening over a port. The problem I am encountering is that when the listening application is closed my application cannot detect it to take appropriate action.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
