I'm using the standard socket module (not btsocket) for multiple tcp connections in my pys60 1.9.2 application.

Is there any means to set the default access point before establishing connection? set_default_access_point()-function is moved to btsocket-module and does not have effect when using the standard socket module.

I believe the answer is no. If you want to avoid access point selection, you'll have to create the socket with the btsocket.socket() rather than the socket.socket().

I've got a related problem, I want to get data from a http URL using urllib - but even though i do the btsocket.set_default_acces_point() etc. it keeps asking me every time i run the script that uses urllib

Problem is that urllib imports the socket module, not the btsocket module, so you'll have to ensure that sys.modules['socket'] points to the btsocket module before importing urllib.

This should work consistently on all versions...

import sys

# Try to import 'btsocket' as 'socket' - ignore on versions < 1.9.x
try:
    sys.modules['socket'] = __import__('btsocket')
except ImportError:
    pass

# For v1.9.x - Import the 'btsocket' module as 'socket'
# For v1.4.x - Import 'socket' module
import socket

# Set up AP
apid = socket.select_access_point()
apo = socket.access_point(apid)
socket.set_default_access_point(apo)

# Now importing urllib should use 'btsocket' instead of 'socket' on v1.9.x
import urllib

I think you solved my problem as well (in Wordmobi), aya42 ;-) Thanks !
Testing ...

Soon, there will be an API that allow one to set the default access point for the standard socket module.

Tested and running fine !

For those that do not know Python so well as aya42, an explanation about sys.modules from Dive into Python.
