Sockets on Windows and Mac

[rodmc]

I am new to Python and have been writing some socket based programmes
on Windows (with some success), however I am unable to get them to work
on Mac.

Are there differences in the way the socket module works on Windows and
Mac? I would appreciate any simple code samples people my have for
creating a very basic server on Macpython, I have copied code from
various tutorials but as yet they don't appear to work.

Thanks,
