[browsershots-factories] Socket error

[Johann C. Rocholl]

In the terminal, type "python" and then press the Tab key twice. You
should get a list of all executables on your PATH that start with
"python".

I get the following on my iBook:
python python2.3 python2.4 pythonw pythonw2.3 pythonw2.4

So you should be able to run the original Python (version 2.3.5) like this:
python2.3 shotfactory.py -l 2 -p <password> -w 45

The problem seems to be due to a bug in the socket module. If you
remove the call to socket.setdefaulttimeout(180) from
shotfactory04/servers/xmlrpc.py, the problem with newer Python
versions seems to go away, but your factory may hang forever if
there's a network problem.

Hope this helps,
Johann
