I'm an absolute beginner, but let's see if I can help. Assuming you want
to check a port on another machine,
import socket
port=25 # Port we want to test
host=machine.to.test # Either IP address or FQDN
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
s.connect((host, port))
print "We made the connection"
except socket.error:
print "Sorry, that port is not open"
s.close
Does that help?
