I was having a similiar problem as you, where as soon as my program exited, it would get started up again, but could not bind to the same address. So i added the follow straight after I create my server object: server.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) And it worked. Note that my program was running on Linux, so this might be a windows issue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
