can you insert the extra print to find out what the error is?

    except socket.error, e:
        if e[0] == 98:      # Address already in use
            print "Error: couldn't bind to address '%s:%s'.  Is the server already 
running?" % (hostname, port)
            os._exit(1)
        print "Other error: %s" % e

Obviously there should be a catch-all there so this wouldn't happen, but
I'm curious what the error is.

Here is the surprising answer to the problem... I added the print
statement and got (-2, 'Name or service not known'). That sort of
surprised me because I was running with host=localhost. I tried
pinging localhost and sure enough, the name couldn't be resolved. It
turns out that FC6 has this little gem in /etc/hosts:
::1    localhost.localdomain   localhost

I changed it to 127.0.0.1 and the problem went away. Frankly I'm kind
of surprised that IPv6 didn't just work anyway... I guess this is a
bug for someone else though ;-)
