Twisted: UDP socket not closed.

Did anyone in the group ever have an answer to Kevac's question, I'm having a similar issue?

Thanks in advance, Luther

Hi.

I have to send UDP packets very often. Approx twice in a second.
But socket is not closed after sending packet. So soon i bump into
open sockets\files limit.
How to close socket after sending data?

Python 2.5, Twisted

class DataClient(DatagramProtocol):

def __init__(self, address, datagram = "PONG"):
self.address, self.datagram = address, datagram

def startProtocol(self):
self.transport.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, \
socket.SO_BROADCAST, True)
self.transport.connect(self.address[0], self.address[1])
self.sendDatagram()

def sendDatagram(self):
self.transport.write(self.datagram)
debug("Data client: Sending to %s" % repr(self.address))

while True:
clientprotocol = DataClient(("255.255.255.255", 5999), data)
reactor.listenUDP(0, clientprotocol).stopListening()
