"getaddrinfo failed", what does that mean?

File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 224, in meth return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args) gaierror: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed Getting this error when launching the "Hello World" sample from the Bottle documentation
It most likely means the hostname can't be resolved. import socket socket.getaddrinfo('localhost', 8080) If it doesn't work there, it's not going to work in the Bottle example. You can try '127.0.0.1' instead of 'localhost' in case that's the problem.
