[Pythonmac-SIG] Error 45 with Paos and setsockopt

[Stefan Witzgall]

Dear PythonMac-list,

I tried the database server Paos found on www.sourceforge.net and run into
a problem.

The interpreter and the IDE give me an error 45 when running the Server.py
script:

------------------------------Traceback window-------------------------
error: (45, 'Operation not supported on socket')
Traceback (innermost last):
--------------------------------------------------
File "Server.py", line 50, in ?
      s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------Traceback window-------------------------

Could you please give me any advise to fix the problem or is anyone using
Paos here on the list?

I found Paos  when I searched for an database for/with/in Python. At least
I can run GadFly, a SQL- database with MacPython. With MetaKit I did run
into the problem that the .slb file is too old for MacPython 2.1.1 and too
new for 1.5.2c1. Perhaps you have any thoughts about that too.

Thank You for reading this and any help or hint.

Stefan
