socket.bind use a name as address

[luke14free]

Hail,
I am new to web-python and so i would like to ask one thing:

how could i bind my socket to an address like http://thenameiwant or http://www.thenameiwant.somedomain (as i see that medusa ftp server does) ??

could you post a correction of that code as answer?

import socket,sys
def reply(x):
    sys.stderr.write(x + "\r\n")
mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM )
mySocket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
mySocket.bind ( ( 'XXXXXX', 80 ) )#change XXXXXX with an address different
mySocket.listen ( 1 )
print 'Connected!'
while True:
   channel, details = mySocket.accept()
   print 'We have opened a connection with', details
   print channel.recv ( 100 )
   reply('Welcome.')
   channel.send ( 'Welcome.' )
   channel.close()
 

Kind regards,

serversocket.bind((socket.gethostname(), 80))

Sorry but it doesn't work
1) socketserver-->SocketServer
2)SocketServer has no attribue bind...
3)socket.bind binds it to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'or local static ip...

you don't bind the address to a url. you bind it to your actual server where the web server is installed. gethostname() will get the the server name for you.
please see here for some reference.
