For reliability reasons (their might be (communication) packets under way that may arrive at the wrong partner), a port stays "in use" for twice (I think) the maximal packet lifetime after its "shutdown". This is a TCP (not a Python) property. There is a TCP(socket) option to supress this. For the details, consult the TCP specification. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
