You may wish to consider a more orderly shutdown (send the server a signal upon which it shuts itself down), but the simplest and most direct solution is to set the SO_REUSEADDR flag. http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html?highlight=so_reuseaddr I've not actually used the TCPServer class myself, but a cursory glance at the docs suggests that it's possible if you subclass it: http://docs.python.org/library/socketserver.html#SocketServer.BaseServer.allow_reuse_address Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
