WSAStartup failed: error code 10107

Trying to get moinmoin wiki working on Windows 2000 using IIS and
python. I get the following error when trying to view the start page
after insalling moinmoin and python - key error seems to be at the end
related to socket.py (ImportError: WSAStartup failed: error code
10107). 10107 is "A system call that should never fail has
failed"...which isn't very helpful. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks,
Ralph

I'm not sure if that helps but check if you have multiple
winsock.dll files on the machine.
Maybe in the system path you have some old winsock.dll.

Thanks for the suggestion Rob. All I can find are 2 copies of
winsock.dll:
c:/WINNT/system32/winsock.dll
c:/WINNT/system32/dllcache/winsock.dll
They're both the same version 3.10.0.13

I assume it's ok to have a copy in the dllcach directory and that's not
a source of the problem?

Does python require a specific version of winsock.dll? The OS is
windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4.

Cheers,
Ralph

No, python doesn't require specific version of winsock.dll.

On my XP I have:

winsock.dll - 3.10.0.103
ws2_32.dll - 5.1.2600.2180
wsock32.dll - 5.1.2600.2180

and everything works fine.

No other idea, but I'm almost sure that problem
is on the OS side not on python side.
