Since you've already strip()'d the line when you get to
that test, you may be breaking the connection when OE has
*not* closed it. Maybe the problem is OE having to continually
reconnect? Which is possibly what you said in your original
message, and I missed it. Also, I have to apologize for
not giving your code a closer reading before trying to
answer your question. But I think to be completely safe,
you must check for line=='' *before* calling strip(),
or test for self.inputline=='', instead of line==''.
