It does seem to be the solution to the problem you asked about, since you don't get a type error here. The problem you report now is quite different. There is no obvious problem with the Python code, this time - it just depends on what you're trying to do. > I added the two print lines as recommended: > self.socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) > print type(self.host), repr(self.host) > print type(self.port), repr(self.port) > self.socket.connect((self.host, self.port)) > self.socketOutput = self.socket.getOutputStream() > > And more specific information: > D:\AUT_TEST\workspace\JyFIT\fit>jython JyFitServer2.py 127.0.0.1 1234 > 12 > ['JyFitServer2.py', '127.0.0.1', '1234', '12'] > 127.0.0.1 > org.python.core.PyString '127.0.0.1' > org.python.core.PyString '1234' > Traceback (innermost last): > File "JyFitServer2.py", line 148, in ? > File "JyFitServer2.py", line 31, in run > File "JyFitServer2.py", line 98, in establishConnection > File "D:\AUT_TEST\Jython21\Lib\socket.py", line 135, in connect > TypeError: java.net.Socket(): 1st arg can't be coerced to > java.net.InetAddress or String > > No casting from string to string??

If I understand what you're doing there, it seems to confirm that when this socket implementation encounters an error in a network address, during connect(), it raises a type error. The thing to do, therefore, is expect TypeError, where in C Python you would expect a socket.gaierror or socket.error (in older versions) exception.
