Why the nested try's? If I understand your intention correctly this should
do the same thing:
try:
s = ... # socket opens
# various code ...
except socket.error, x:
# exception handling
s.close() # socket closes
You would need the try-finally statement only if you expect it to handle
other exceptions than socket.error or if the socket.error is re-raised in
the "except" clause. Otherwise, the try-finally statement is redundant
because no socket.error are getting out of the try-except statement.
