self._socket.bind(address) File "", line 1, in bind TypeError: an integer is required

Question

I am using Python 2.6 and trying to start a manager for a given port and authkey

import multiprocessing
from multiprocessing.managers import SyncManager

    def make_server_manager(port, authkey):
            # ...

        class JobQueueManager(SyncManager):
                pass
        # ...

        manager = JobQueueManager(address=("127.0.0.1", port), authkey=authkey)
        manager.start()

        return manager

But I am getting the error message:

[hue@sandbox ~]$ python ####.py 5000 abc
Process JobQueueManager-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.listener = Listener(address=address, backlog=5)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/connection.py", line 106, in __init__
    self._listener = SocketListener(address, family, backlog)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/connection.py", line 227, in __init__
    self._socket.bind(address)
  File "<string>", line 1, in bind

    manager.start()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/managers.py", line 499, in start
    self._address = reader.recv()
EOFError

Can somebody suggest what to input in the address? It seems it is failing while trying to bind to the address. As the error suggests, how can the address be an integer? Or is it with the port 5000 that I have given at runtime?

A thread on multiprocessing with similar inputs are given for reference:

It might be dependent on `JobQueueManager`'s `__init__` and its `start`. Can you show them? — thefourtheye, Nov 17 '13 at 03:03
@thefourtheye: It should be using SyncManager `__init__` and `start`. I have added the definition of JobQueueManager in my code already. You can check the implementation from standard SyncManager class of Python 2.6 — somnathchakrabarti, Nov 17 '13 at 03:11
@Max: what I did is totally removed the `sys.argv` and hardcoded the port and authkey. It is work-around for time being — somnathchakrabarti, Nov 17 '13 at 03:38
