1. D:\>python23\python d:\python23\socket6.py [Enter] It's OK so far. Python code is launched and starts listening to port 1434 (see the code below; it's the same code as in my neibouring topic). Now I launch a vbs script (which will connect to port 1434). I.e. I just double-click "my.vbs" file. And... voila! In a moment & silently console window closes without any error messages (or I just don't see them). But VBS reports a network error. Tested on win2k and win98. In IDLE it works ABSOLUTELY FINE! Prints statements in the code do exactly what they must do. import socket, thread host, port = '127.0.0.1', 1434 s1 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s2 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s2.connect((host, 1433)) s1.bind((host, port)) s1.listen(1) cn, addr = s1.accept() def VB_SCRIPT(): while 1: data = cn.recv(4096) if not data: return s2.send(data) print 'VB_SCRIPT:' + data + '\n\n' def SQL_SERVER(): while 1: data = s2.recv(4096) if not data: return cn.send(data) print 'SQL_SERVER:' + data + '\n\n' thread.start_new_thread(VB_SCRIPT,()) thread.start_new_thread(SQL_SERVER,()) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
