You're not binding to all interfaces, you're binding specifically to the loopback interface. For what you're doing, it's fine, but the comment is still wrong. It's also a little weird that the example uses connect() and sendall(). Those are TCP-ish type constructs. They work with UDP sockets, but using them sort of obscures the fundamental datagram nature of UDP. Well, enough of that. The real problem seems to be right here: > print "Looking for replies; press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break to stop." > while 1: > buf = s.recvfrom(2048) > sys.stdout.write(buf[0]) Try adding sys.stdout.flush(), and it should work. Or change it to print. I've never seen this book, but if this code really is verbatim from the book, I'm not very impressed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
