The standard idiom of creating a socket with SO_REUSEADDR before binding,
should not be done on windows. The meaning of this socket option is quite
different on windows. On windows, the default behaviour is as though
SO_REUSEADDR had been specified on unix.
If this flag is specified, it is possible to bind to a port that is
actually _in use_.
See for example this discussion from twisted:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/1151

And this documentaton on the flag and its windows specific colleagues:
