OS Error 23

Thierry

Hello,
from time to time, trying to create a socket with

inetSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

I get to an exception (OS Error 23).

I just wonder what is OS Error 23 and how to prevent it.

Thanks
Thiery

Hello @d-alvrzx , I have seen it --of course-- (but my socket is cleanly closed after use).

I solved the issue running the garbage collector every 1 seconds (OS Error 23 seems to be "too many open files").

A quick google shows that the error could be caused by not closing the socket after using it? Unsure, but worth a try.
