In my python code I use subprocess.Popen to run and external program who will listen to a TCP port. And I also create a socket to connect to the TCP port that the external program is listening. I will get 'Connection refused, errno=111' when I try to socket.connect ().
Looks like a race. The first process tries to connect before the external program gets through socket.listen(). If you think about it, it's not that surprising.
But if I run my subprocess.Popen code and socket code in two separate python process. Socket will connect just fine.
It's still a race condition even if the side you want to win almost always does.
