sockets - Python OSC, Query / Close active thread -

i'm using relatively simple python execution, using osc modules, in order 'send' code, application other.

import osc import threading  #------osc server-------------------------------------# receive_address = '127.0.0.1', 9002  # osc server. there 3 different types of server.  s = osc.threadingoscserver(receive_address)   # define message-handler function server call. def printing_handler(addr, tags, stuff, source):     if addr=='/coordinates':         print "test", stuff  s.addmsghandler("/coordinates", printing_handler)  def main():     # start oscserver     print "starting oscserver"     st = threading.thread(target=s.serve_forever)     st.start() main() 

runned once, work fine, listen on port 9002.

but, runned twice, return error:

socket.error: [errno 10048] 1 usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) permitted

my goal to:

1. be able query on active thread's port
2. close them

i've tried following...

import socket  s = socket.socket(socket.af_inet, socket.sock_stream) result = s.connect_ex(('127.0.0.1', 900socket2)) print 'result: ', result s.close() 

but giving me unsuccessful result. (returns 10061 both active , unactive port's thread)

python » documentation socketserver.baseserver:

shutdown()

tell serve_forever() loop stop , wait until does. 

server_close()

clean server. may overridden.
