Some services (such as older HTTP 1.0 services) are designed for "one command per connection" mode. This means, they answer a signle command and then close the connection. >From what you describe, your service might belong to this class. In this case, you would need to open a new connection whenever you detect that the old connection was closed. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
