How to disconnect WiFi connection?

[pingwing]

Hi.
I am writing an app to control my MPD (Music Player Daemon) with my Nokia E51 by wifi.
There is a generic python client library which uses socket module.

I am using pys60 1.9.7.
Everything is working very well, but I wanted to add powersaving to my app.

Here is code I wrote:

if e32.inactivity() > 120:
	if connected:
		disconnect()
		del client
else:
	if connected == 0:
		client = connect()

connect function:

def connect():
	global ip_serwera
	global connected
	client = mpd.MPDClient()           # create client object
	try:
		client.connect(ip_serwera, 6600)  # connect to ip:6600
		connected = 1
	except:
		change_ip()
	return client

disconnect function:

def disconnect():
	global client
	global connected
	if connected:
		client.close()                     # send the close command
		client.disconnect()                # disconnect from the server
		connected = 0
	return 1

I import the library using code:

sys.path.append("E:\\Python")
import mpd

In the library function close sends "goodbye" to server and disconnect does:

def disconnect(self):
        self._rfile.close()
        self._wfile.close()
        self._sock.close()
        self._reset()

But even after I do disconnect WiFi stays ON and uses battery.

What can I do?

WiFi connections is closed only after I close Python interpreter.

Sorry for reminding, but it is still bugging me.
Can anybody help?

Unfortunately I can't. Even when people call stop() from btsocket API, I have seen users reporting that sometimes the connection remains open.

maybe a second try can help ???

i mean something like
try:
con.close()
execpt:
do something else

or even try to connect again and then disconnect again :P (of course if disconnect is successful in only a few cases ...)
