James Hutchison added the comment: This is the traceback I was getting where it was just a script that simply made an SMTP connection then closed it. This fails before it attempts to connect to the server.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\tmp\manysmtptest.py", line 8, in <module> main(); File "C:\tmp\manysmtptest.py", line 4, in main a = SMTP(myserver); File "C:\Python32\lib\smtplib.py", line 259, in __init__ (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port) File "C:\Python32\lib\smtplib.py", line 319, in connect self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout) File "C:\Python32\lib\smtplib.py", line 294, in _get_socket return socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout) File "C:\Python32\lib\socket.py", line 404, in create_connection raise err File "C:\Python32\lib\socket.py", line 395, in create_connection sock.connect(sa) socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions What I don't get is why rebooting didn't fix the problem. You'd think Python or Windows issue, things would resolve themselves after a reboot. All the other programs I was using seemed to work fine. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15779> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
