Errno 10048 when trying to read again from network through Bacpypes

Question

I use a python library called Bacpypes in order to read bacnet points in network. In my first trial of reading my points with function MultipleReadProperty , there is no problem. I get all values without any problem. But in second poll i get an error about socket like following :

[0.0, 1149064.0, 1941115.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 13525024.0, 448152.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

    return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
error: [Errno 10048] Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

As seen at first line, i get all values from network with no problem.

To solve problem, i used stop() function of Bacpypes library in a few points of code. Especially just before the code that starts polling. But, it appears that i cant somehow close the socket. Could you please make some suggestions about this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Bacpypes has recently been update to version 0.15 and a lot of effort has been made in the documentation. There a re a lot of new features and the code has been simplified for typical things like whois, IAm.

I suggest you have a look http://bacpypes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

and here : https://github.com/JoelBender/bacpypes/blob/master/samples/MultipleReadProperty.py

I can also suggest BAC0 (http://bac0.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), which is built on the top of bacpypes and provide out-of-the box features to communicate with BACnet devices. (Disclaimer : BAC0 is my project and I'm contributor to bacpypes)
