Alternatively you can use my solution:
def get_open_port(): import socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind(("",0)) s.listen(1) port = s.getsockname()[1] s.close() return port
Not very nice and also not 100% correct but it works for now.

My current solution:
def get_open_port(): import socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind(("",0)) s.listen(1) port = s.getsockname()[1] s.close() return port
Not very nice and also not 100% correct but it works for now.
