(10093, 'Successful WSAStartup() not yet performed') ?

[j vickroy]

I'm using Python 2.2 on a Win 2k machine.  My socket script is generating
the following error:

   (10004, 'Interrupted system call')

Thereafter, the following error is generated until the script is stopped:

 (10093, 'Successful WSAStartup() not yet performed')

Could someone shed some light on this?


Here is the code snippet:
