It shouldn't be that way. Either you still have some process lying around hogging the port. Or the OS needs a while to re-enable the port for allocation. That happened to me quite a few times. Shutting down gracefully might speed up things I guess. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
