I have the same issue but I just left it.
This time I just command 'adb shell' to remote coding in the phone directly.

$adb shell

#cd sdcard/sl4a/scripts/
#vi mycode.py

then write whatever you want to :)

Try:
export AP_HOST=localhost

Also, try disabling your firewall.

Pretty sure setting AP_HOST will solve the problem. As I have no updates in 6 
months, I'm closing the issue.
