Jython: only one successful connection attempt using sockets

please paste a code snippet

This is the fundamental code snippet which I use to connect as a client to the server:

import socket

class TCPControler:

    IP = "127.0.0.1"
    PORT = 10002

    def __init__(self):
        print('__init__')
        self._TCPSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        try:
            self._TCPSocket.connect((self.IP, self.PORT))
        except ValueError as error:
            print(error)
        except OSError as error:
            print("Unable to open TCP port %s:%s" % (self.IP.upper(), str(self.PORT)), error)

    def __del__(self):
        print('__del__')
        self._TCPSocket.close()

def main():
    TcpCtrl = TCPControler()

main()

Moreover, I noticed that destructor in jython works with delay or at all (I mean that it does not execute its code just after the Jython process stops working). In order to debug this issue I added the "print" functions in __init__ and __del__ member functions . It looks like the __del__ function in jython is invoked while garbage collector starts working (or similar tool).

Has someboody meet with such issue too?

When running scripts in the SikuliX IDE, the Jython session is only terminated, if the IDE is terminated.

Hence each script runs in the same Jython context.

To get a new Jython context for every scriptrun, run your script from command line.

For testing purposes in the IDE, it might be worth to delete the TCPControler() instance at script end.
