SimpleXMLRPCServer Releasing Ports

Wed Oct 9 05:30:38 EDT 2002

In Python 2.2 (I haven't checked earlier releases), the base class for
SimpleXMLRPCServer, SocketServer.TCPServer has an attribute
allow_reuse_address. If you set this to 1 or anything else evaluating true
before invoking serve_forever(), the correct socket option SO_REUSEADDR is set
for you. You don't need to write any code yourself.
