Overview

This exception is raised when an attempt to use an address or port that is already in use occurs, such as binding to a host on a given port that is already in use. Note that Windows raises this in some cases when attempting to connect to addresses that it can’t handle, e.g. “0.0.0.0”. Thus, this is a ConnectionError.
