No, my guess is that you're running an old version of Python. The constant was added in the source on 27 Nov 2003; I'm not sure what version that would first appear in. You can fix it either by upgrading your Python distribution (a good idea anyway), or replacing: sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR) with: sock.shutdown(1) >>>But it does NOT work without IDLE! >> >>Odd.

Hmmm... not much to go on there. I tested it on Win-XP, running it from a command line. I set the server to ('www.googl.com', 80), and I was able to web-search through it. Are you running XP's local firewall? -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
