[issue11631] Python 2.7.1 64bit, Win7 64bit problem to read and write with UDP.

[Kristoffer Nilsson]

New submission from Kristoffer Nilsson <novafaen at gmail.com>:

Running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit, and Python 7.2.1 64 bit Python failed to read and send UDP packages when ran in cmd.exe. This is not the case when ran with IDLE.

Example; two simple programs. First one listening to a UDP port

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.bind(('', 10015))

reading data from socket and printing the received data, using;
data, addr = sock.recvfrom(1024)

this will lock, if not ran from IDLE.

Same for sending data, using;

sock.sendto(DATA_MESSAGE, (HOST, 10015))

this will work with both, but only send when running from IDLE.
