Running an example several times with too small delay between executions, could
|
||||
lead to this error::
|
||||
|
||||
socket.error: [Errno 98] Address already in use
|
||||
|
||||
This is because the previous execution has left the socket in a ``TIME_WAIT``
|
||||
state, and can't be immediately reused.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a :mod:`socket` flag to set, in order to prevent this,
|
||||
:data:`socket.SO_REUSEADDR`::
|
||||
|
||||
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
|
||||
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
|
||||
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
|
||||
|
||||
the :data:`SO_REUSEADDR` flag tells the kernel to reuse a local socket in
|
||||
``TIME_WAIT`` state, without waiting for its natural timeout to expire.
