What did your print print out?

As John discovered, open_local_file() is not defined at the module
level.

John,  try this :

    # Python
    >>> import socket
    >>> socket.gethostbyname('localhost')

I think that will fail with the same error message.  On my linux
system I get the following results :
    >>> import socket
    >>> socket.gethostbyname('localhost')
    '127.0.0.1'

What happens if you try running 'ping localhost' from a command shell?
Does your OS/2 system have networking configured correctly?
