no, because I am not python-savvy, but in C you would simply do this:
int fd = socket (...)
int oval = 1;
setsockopt (fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &oval, sizeof oval);
bind, listen... etc.
on the listening socket and forget about it. The python interface should
be _similar_ but not identical, I guess.
It's documented e.g. in socket(7) and ip(7):
SO_REUSEADDR
Indicates that the rules used in validating addresses
supplied in a bind(2) call should allow reuse of local
addresses. For PF_INET sockets this means that a socket
may bind, except when there is an active listening socket
bound to the address. When the listening socket is bound to
INADDR_ANY with a specific port then it is not possible to
bind to this port for any local address.
---
A TCP local socket address that has been bound is
unavailable for some time after closing, unless the
SO_REUSEADDR flag has been set. Care should be taken when
using this flag as it makes TCP less reliable.
