In Linux, you can open the socket before forking and then use it in the child processes; there is also a way to pass open sockets from one process to another, but the Python lib currently does not support that feature. It's worth adding and there's an open RFE for it, but it hasn't been important enough that anyone's bothered coding it so far. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
