This makes no sense at all.

The socketPort is already an int because you make it so
on the raw_input line.

If it is <4 it will also be less than 65535 so the "and"
test is superfluous.

And if it is <4 the while loop will run forever because
you never change the value of socketPort.

if
x = int(n)
then
int(x) == x

is always true

I've no idea what the loop is intended to do so I can't
comment on whether you need to just delete it or whether
you need to modify it somehow.
