John -

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing myself and was reading that page when I received your mail.

Glyph had a simple test to see if my installation of python was working correctly. The actual line that's reporting the error is in the file unix.py, which shows up in the Twisted/twisted/internet/unix.py file at line 89 and reads:

              skt.bind(self.port)

I'm not sure what self.port resolves to.

Regards,
Scott.

I believe your using pythons bind incorrectly. Have a look at http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/library/socket.html
