On second thought... That didn't help at all. The example just shows how to parse a URI. I'm trying to connect to a service (if I understand correctly) that is NOT on my Linux box, but somewhere out in our IT department's ether, and I do not have host/domain to work with. I interpreted "serverless binding" to mean that I was connecting by some means other than host.domain:port. Yes? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
