This is why socket.gethostbyname(host) raises gaierror -5, there is no address associated to somerandomhost.ontheinternet.com. Instead the values that 'host' takes for the other urls are localhost or 127.0.0.1, both valid for gethostbyname(). Any hint? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
