Socket Error

[kingofearth.com@gmail.com]

When I try to open a socket with python i get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mailer", line 3, in ?
sock = socket.socket(s ocket.PF_INET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
NameError: name 'socket' is not defined

the code is:

#!/usr/bin/python

sock = socket.socket(s ocket.PF_INET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
sock.connect((" mail.oasd.k12.w i.us", 25))
sock.send("HELO ")
print sock.recv(8192)
sock.close()

Re: Socket Error

You missed the import socket statement. Also the socket.PF_INET should
be socket.AF_INET

You forgot to import the socket module:

import socket

Thanks everybody, it works now. I thought I needed to do something like
that but it didn't show it in the tutorial so I decided to ask here.

Where was the tutorial? If it's in the Python docs, perhaps you could
submit a patch to fix it ... ;-)
