I'm new to python, but have been writing programs in other languages for about 15 years now. As part of my job I develop applications that interface with Asterisk in various ways. As a way of getting my feet wet I decided to try to rewrite an outbound call script that I have in another language into python. It's a deamon that runs on a linux box and every 15 seconds it checks a MySQL table for new records, if there are any it creates a .call file on the Asterisk server using ssh, it also checks the Asterisk server, again via ssh, for any finished calls and if there are any it reads the .call file and writes the result in to the MySQL table.
I did a google search for ssh and a python script that someone had written that wraps up some paramiko calls to make the ssh interaction easier. I'm also using MySQLdb for the MySQL access. It sleeps for 15 seconds then creates an ssh connection the asterisk server, checks the MySQL table, checks the asterisk server, closes the connection and goes back to sleep. After it has run for an hour or so I get the error in the subject when the ssh class tries to create a new socket. I have double checked that it is closing the socket. I don't know what else to check, any suggestions would be much appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
