[erlang-questions] Newbie: Problem TCP connection erlang-python

[Andreas Hillqvist]

Could it be the options?
You could try using {packet, raw}:
  Opts = [binary,
         {active,true},
         {packet, raw},
         {reuseaddr,true}],
  {ok, Listen} = gen_tcp:listen (Port, Opts),

See: http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/inet.html#setopts/2

Just some speculation from me. ;-)

Andreas Hillqvist
