Working socket() program...isn't

[ptrivino]

Try to output the same thing from within your program, just before the with statement because obviously a strange object is created by your call to socket.socket() in the with statement.

Good call, obviously *something* has changed, __exit__ is no longer there:

Output:
(pagesniff) [a-ptrivino@insecpydev pagesniff]$ sudo python sniffsms.py server

Traceback (most recent call last):

    with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as transfer:
AttributeError: __exit__
(pagesniff) [a-ptrivino@insecpydev pagesniff]$

So I'm guessing somehow the socket() in the program is somehow being overridden since it's different from the one I tried in the interpreter.
