A simple server:
from socket import *
myHost = ''
Try with myHost = '127.0.0.1' instead - a firewall might be blocking
your server.
Just a nit: I'd say the reason to use '127.0.0.1' instead of the empty
string is that a firewall might *not* be blocking your server.
The Python sockets module interprets the empty string as INADDR_ANY,
which means to bind to all available adapters including the loopback,
A.K.A localhost, A.K.A '127.0.0.1'.
I thought a firewall would block an attempt to bind to any routeable
address, but not to localhost. So using INADDR_ANY would be rejected.
