             Summary: Python client causes Windows firewall denial
                 Key: QPID-4320
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4320
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python Client
    Affects Versions: 0.18
         Environment: Python 2.7 on Windows XP, Vista, or 7
Client running as regular user.
            Reporter: Balázs Miklós
            Priority: Minor


When running a simple message producer program that sends messages to a remote QPID broker from a Windows client, a Windows Firewall dialog comes up saying that it prohibited the program from accepting remote connections.

Afterwards, the QPID client seems to work even with the firewall prohibition rule in place.

I have traced the problem down to the listener.bind call in the method SockWaiter.selectable_waiter() defined in compat.py.

Originally, it was:
listener.bind(('', 0))

I changed it to:
listener.bind(('127.0.0.1', 0))

And the firewall denial dialog no longer came up.
