If we could reliably do this, I'd be tempted to propose:
try:
sock.bind(serverAddress)
except:
print 'RTFM!'
os.system('xloadimage %s/WebKit/Docs/arch.gif' % self.webwarePath())
But seriously, your idea (of providing helpful feedback to the user) is a good
one.
I'd (personally) be happier with EnableHTTP too.
peace,
