You may want to take a look at some sample use of networking in the SocketServer: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/SocketServer.py?rev=39194&view=markup In particular, take a look at: def server_bind(self): """Called by constructor to bind the socket. May be overridden. """ if self.allow_reuse_address: self.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) self.socket.bind(self.server_address) If we're using SocketServer class to build your socket servers, we set the allow_reuse_address attribute to True (See: http://www.python.org/doc/lib/node536.html) If we're building server sockets from scratch, we'll want to do that magic line: socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) right before binding the socket to the address.
