getting data from a port in use

[Dana Marcusanu]

Yes. It hangs at accept. I always end up doing end task because it never
passes the "accept" statement. When I set the port I use netstat (netstat
-bn) to get the ports that are in use. I use PythonWin 2.4. I am still
puzzled about the fact that it runs fine for you.
You are right about using the work_socket instead of s. My program never
ran to that line so I did not notice the error.

Thank you, Dana
