Error when running server using the same port?

In the code;

import socket
HOST = ''   #another short form for INADDDR_ANY, all available interfaces
PORT = 50010 #arbitrary non-priviledged port
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))

s.listen(1)
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'Connected by', addr

I am getting an error

socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forb
idden by its access permissions

The error points to s.bind(). Any clues as to why this is happening? Basically, I don't want to change the port number each time I make some changes to server code.

Are you closing down the sockets correctly when exiting your program? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10461257/an-attempt-was-made-to-access-a-socket-in-a-way-forbbiden-by-its-access-permiss – nif Jun 30 '13 at 15:41
Yes I have added close(), but it throws an error much earlier – hershey92 Jun 30 '13 at 15:50
What platform windows or linux? – RedBaron Jun 30 '13 at 16:55
I am using windows 7 and python 2.7 – hershey92 Jun 30 '13 at 19:47
Possibly a UAC thing? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2778840/socket-error-errno-10013-an-attempt-was-made-to-access-a-socket-in-a-way-forb – Jeremy Friesner Jun 30 '13 at 23:32
