New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
This is the result from executing the second IPv4/IPv6 server example
shown in socket module documentation on a FreeBSD-7 system.
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/socket.html#example
dhcppc1# cat server.py
# Echo server program
import socket
import sys
HOST = '' # Symbolic name meaning the local host
PORT = 50007 # Arbitrary non-privileged port
s = None
for res in socket.getaddrinfo(HOST, PORT, socket.AF_UNSPEC,
socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0, socket.AI_PASSIVE):
af, socktype, proto, canonname, sa = res
try:
s = socket.socket(af, socktype, proto)
except socket.error, msg:
s = None
continue
try:
s.bind(sa)
s.listen(1)
except socket.error, msg:
s.close()
s = None
continue
break
if s is None:
print 'could not open socket'
sys.exit(1)
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'Connected by', addr
while 1:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data: break
conn.send(data)
conn.close()
