Hi Richard, I tried your code and it works fine for me. The script always exits right away after scanning all ports. I tried various hosts and various port ranges. I'm running Python 2.4.4, Twisted 2.5.0, on OS X. btw: I would warn against port scanning public sites such as google; you don't want to trip an IDS and cop the wrath of a network admin. Hope this helps. Cya at PyConUK. Cheers, Chris On 25 Aug 2007, at 12:53, Richard Wall wrote:

I'm giving a talk "An introduction to Twisted" at PyconUK and am trying to come up with some simple examples.

One of these, is the attached PortCheck module, that is supposed to attempt connection to a range of ports and report whether they're open, closed, filtered (timeout).

It works okay when run against localhost, or another machine on my local network, but I've noticed that when I run it against an internet host, the reactor takes ages to shutdown after scanning all the ports. I wondered if there was anything obviously wrong with the code.

Run it as follows from bash: python portcheck.py www.google.co.uk {1..1000}

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
