python Errno 98 address in use - how do I clear this #132

Closed AlistairMcKinnon closed 5 years ago

AlistairMcKinnon commented 5 years ago

My Python program works great with Android Bluedot app. If I ctrl-C out of python program, it closes everything successfully, and it closes the bluedot screen on Android phone/ If I ctrl-Z out of python program, it does not close everything and leaves bluedot hanging. When I re start the python program, it says Errno98 Address in use. How do I free up the address?

Ctrl Z suspends the process, leaving your program running and therefore the BlueDot server as well.

You could trap the suspend event and stop the BlueDot using the .stop() before quitting. Here is an article about how.

Or you could use Ctrl C! Is there a reason you are closing using Ctrl Z?

Closing as not an issue with Blue Dot.
