Hi, I'm trying to create a listening socket connection on port 1514. I tried to follow the documentation at: http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/socket-example.html and came up with following lines: import socket
host = '' # Symbolic name meaning all available interfaces port = 1514 # Arbitrary non-privileged port s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind((host, port)) s.listen(1) conn, addr = s.accept() print 'Connected by', addr while 1: data = conn.recv(1024) if not data: break conn.send(data) conn.close() but that is not working, i'm getting this: import: unable to open X server `' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/ 362. ./sockettest.py: line 4: host: command not found ./sockettest.py: line 5: port: command not found ./sockettest.py: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./sockettest.py: line 6: `s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)' now why would it try to open an x server??? :o -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
