(Python) socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

Question

I'm not sure what happened to this code. I keep getting this socket.gaierror error; \.

import sys
import socket
import random

filename = "whoiservers.txt"

server_name = random.choice(list(open(filename)))

print "connecting to %s..." % server_name

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((server_name, 43))
s.send(sys.argv[1] + "\r\n")
response = ''
while True:
    d = s.recv(4096)
    response += d
    if d == '':
        break
s.close()
print
print response


    s.connect((server_name, 43))
  File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

Update:

After adding, server_name = random.choice(list(open(filename)))[:-1]I no longer receive this .gaierror socket, but I get:

socket.error: [Errno 10060] The connection attempt failed because the connected pa rty did not respond properly after a certain period of time or made a connection f because the connected host was unable to respond

Answer 1

I think the problem is the new line at the end server_name.

whoiservers.txt - , , s.connect()

, , :

server_name = random.choice(list(open(filename)))[:-1]
