I am porting an application I had in J2ME to PyS60 (mainly because of the being able to save a default access point lol). It's an application that's meant to run in background and checks a webpage every hour. In JavaME I had no control over the connection, but after closing all streams, my phone (E65) closed the connection after a minute or so (never timed it, any info on this would appreciated too, for curiosity ).
But since in Python I see we have so much more control than in java I was wondering if there's any way to shut the connection down myself instead of waiting for it to close.
Or better, does it even close after some time inacive, like JavaME? Because I've had the script open but inactive in PythonShell for a while now (like 20min) and the connection is still up though.

Thank you

You can manually stop the access point

import socket
apid = socket.select_access_point()
ap = socket.access_point(apid)
ap.start()
print ap.ip()    # This line is just an example...
ap.stop()        # Stop the access point.

That was exactly it, thanks!
Manual labor sucks, socket.ap.close()
