No, my guess is that you're running an old version of Python.
The constant was added in the source on 27 Nov 2003; I'm not
sure what version that would first appear in. You can fix it
either by upgrading your Python distribution (a good idea
anyway), or replacing:

     sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR)

with:

     sock.shutdown(1)

Hmmm... not much to go on there. I tested it on Win-XP, running
it from a command line. I set the server to ('www.googl.com',
80), and I was able to web-search through it.

Are you running XP's local firewall?
