I'm guessing you continued to try to do work after closing the connection.
Note this code at line 247:

    def close(self):
        """Close the connection."""
        if self.sock:
            self.sock.close()
        self.sock = 0    # <<<< this makes self.sock an integer
        self.eof = 1

Your code is multithreaded.  Could another thread have closed the socket on
you?
