I have a socket server like below which I want to exit when
it's out of data. If I interrupt the client, I'll get a
broken pipe on the server side, and after a Ctrl-C, I can
restart the server again, but if I let it run out of data,
and exit via handle_error as can be seen below, I will get
a socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use') when I try
to restart the server. (Unless I wait a minute or so, or
use another port.) I feel like I'm waving a dead chicken
here. I can't seem to find any proper description on how to
handle this in the docs for SocketServer or socket, and my
futile experiments seem to lead nowhere... Neither Nutshell
nor the Essential Reference helped me solve this.
I'm using Python 2.2.3 on Linux. Why doesn't my socket
get released by the OS when I exit via my handle_error?
class MyRequestHandle r(SocketServer. BaseRequestHand ler):
def handle(self):
while True:
[snip]
try:
[snip]
except [snip]:
# Done!
# Uncommenting the next line makes no difference
# self.request.cl ose()
sys.exit()
class ExitableSocketS erver(SocketSer ver.TCPServer):
def handle_error(se lf, request, client_address) :
exc_info = sys.exc_info()
if exc_info and isinstance(exc_ info[1], SystemExit):
request.shutdow n(2)
request.close()
del request
self.socket.shu tdown(2)
self.socket.clo se()
del self.socket
sys.exit()
SocketServer.TC PServer.handle_ error(self, request, client_address)
....
server = ExitableSocketS erver(('', port), MyRequestHandle r)
server.serve_fo rever() 3 13908

Not a Python problem...
Normal socket behavior IS to lock out for some period of time.
Check the options available when creating the socket. (I'm not
heavily familiar with socket programming, hence the vagueness) Some
option for "Reuse Address"...
SO_REUSEADDR is the constant in socket.h... And appears to be
visible in socket.py

Ok. I added a STOP message to my protocol, so now the client
shuts down the socket first (when it has read the STOP), and
then it seems to work much better. What I did, in case the
client gets behind, was this in my handle method: I send a STOP
message repeatedly with a delay. When the client gets the first
one, it will close the socket, and I will get an exception the
next time I try to send. This seems to work well, without
(I hope) introducing any new potential problems.
....
delay = 1
print "No more data to serve. Send STOP message."
print "Waiting for client to close socket."
while 1:
try:
self.request.se nd("STOP\n")
time.sleep(dela y)
print '.'
finally:

Hello Python community,
I am trying the echo-client and echo-server examples in Chapter 10,
"Programming Python" by Mark Lutz.
It is probably the most simple sockets sample: A socket server just
echoing the socket clients' requests.
The program works so far. I first start the server in one dos box,
then the client in another dos box on my machine.

Hi,
I've written a very simple 'kill-server' to help me shut down
processes through Telnet or HTTP. The kill-server is a function and is
launched as a thread. I use the module socket.py on Python v2.3
(Windows)
I can use telnet host:port and enter the secret killword or
use a broser with http://host:port/secret_killword
The 'kill-server' validates the secret_killword and writes a file

Hi,
The reason is that my application does about 16 connects and data
transfers per second, to the same 16 remote hosts. After approx 200 secs
there are 4000 sockets waiting to be garbage collected by the OS. At
this point is seems that connect loops and starts using the same local
addresses it used 4000 connections ago, resulting in an "Address already
in use" exception.
A possible solution to this would be to keep the connection to...

This code should take a connection on port 8110, dump it to a client

It fails on creating the client thread with error 106: 'Transport
