Spam Bot, broken pipe

[Someone Something]

I have a irc spam bot (only testing on my channel :P ) whose main loop is
the following:

privc="PRIVMSG "+self.channel
while True:
     self.sock.send(privc=" :SPAM SPAM SPAM!");
     time.sleep(2);

And it gives an error "Broken Pipe".
How can I fix this?
