SL4A (ASE) problems running python script as root

    Hi, i'm trying to write a python script which will run on a HTC Wildfire under SL4A. The script should set up a listen server. However i'm getting a permission denied error when i try opening the listen socket. The script runs without issue on a linux pc. I guess the issue is that it needs to be run as the root user to create the listen socket.

    Do I need to have the phone "rooted" to run a script as root user?

    Actually never mind, just discovered you don't need root access to set up a listen socket. Problem was port 80 (http) was already in use for some reason.

    Anyway, this is really useful to be able to run scripts on the phone. Opens up all kinds of new potential for the old 'droid!
