it seems that the socket-module behaves differently on unix / windows when a timeout is set.
[...]
Now I will change the code slightly - to be precise I set a timeout on the socket:


# test.py

import socket
sock=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.settimeout(3.0) #  <-----
print 'trying to connect...'
sock.connect(('127.0.0.1',9999))
print 'connected!'


# executed on linux

$ python test.py
trying to connect...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 5, in <module>
    sock.connect(('127.0.0.1',9999))
  File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused')
$


# executed on windows

C:\Python25\python.exe test.py
trying to connect...
connected!

Which Python version? Which Windows version? I've tried 2.3.4, 2.4.4, 2.5.1 and 3.0a4, all on WinXP SP2, and in all cases I got an exception (details differ between versions). In no case I could make the connection succeed when nobody was listening at port 9999, as expected.
