socket bind and connect problems

[thakadu]

Hi

Does anyone know why using version 1.4.2 final the following error occurs?

from socket import *
serverHost = ''
serverPort = 2000

s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) # create a TCP socket
s.connect((serverHost, serverPort)) # connect to server on the port

This results in an error on the s.connect() call:

error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

A similar error occurs if you call s.bind()

both scripts work fine in other environments.


I am also not sure why some standard library modules are
missing for example all
of BaseHTTPServer and SocketServer are not available.

Anyone have any ideas?

The "invalid argument" error is because you specify the argument as a tuple. It should be s.connect(serverHost, serverPort) (one set of brackets).
