closing sockets

[Mohammed Smadi]

hi;

i am executing program whcih uses a tcp socket. At the end of the program
i do s.close() where s is my socket.

when i try to run the program again right away i get the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "asterisk_login.py", line 14, in ?
s.bind(("", hp_port)) # do some error checking
File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use')

how can i get around that

thanks
