Hi. Python newbie speaking, I've copy/pasted the example of the echo server that comes in the IDLE documentation ("Python Library Reference" section 17.2.3) to see how the sockets work. The only change I've made is in the host address which I've set to 'localhost' in the client. You can see the complete code below the message.
When I run it I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python25\eclient.py", line 11, in <module> data = s.recv(1024) error: (10053, 'Software caused connection abort') Is the example wrong? In this case, Where can I find a working example? Have I messed up the example putting 'localhost'? (don't think so, because I tried with '127.0.0.1' and I got the same error). And the big one, Why I get the error and how can I avoid it in future applications? Lot of thanks in advance!! ---CODE--- # Echo server program import socket HOST = '' # Symbolic name meaning the local host PORT = 50001 # Arbitrary non-privileged port s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind((HOST, PORT)) s.listen(10) conn, addr = s.accept() print 'Connected by', addr while 1: data = conn.recv(1024) if not data: break conn.send(data) conn.close() _______________________________ # Echo client program import socket HOST = 'localhost' # The remote host PORT = 50001 # The same port as used by the server s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((HOST, PORT)) s.send('Hello, world') data = s.recv(1024) s.close() print 'Received', repr(data) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
