Hi Digi Team,
I have a problem with the socket of zigbee, I set the socket in this form because I saw this confiuration in others examples:
Zigbee\_Socket = socket(socket.AF\_ZIGBEE, socket.SOCK\_DGRAM, socket.ZBS\_PROT\_TRANSPORT)
Zigbee\_Socket.bind((“”, 0xE8, 0, 0))
Zigbee\_Socket.setblocking(0)
Zigbee\_Socket.listen(1)
but on the DigiPython ESP software application when I set the run the python file, this show me the following error:
Configuracion del sokect ZIGBEE
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “WEB/python/dpdsrv.py”, line 14, in ?
execfile(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(‘.’), ‘SensorWiFi.py’))
File “WEB/python/SensorWiFi.py”, line 197, in ?
main()
File “WEB/python/SensorWiFi.py”, line 41, in main
Zigbee\_Socket = socket(socket.AF\_ZIGBEE, socket.SOCK\_DGRAM, socket.ZBS\_PROT\_TRANSPOR
T)
AttributeError: type object ‘\_socketobject’ has no attribute ‘AF\_ZIGBEE’
but I don’t understand because, I imported the zigbee library in the begin of the file.
Can you help me with this problem? :s
Thanks Team!

Please see this link [http://www.digi.com/wiki/developer/index.php/XBee\_Extensions\_to\_the\_Python\_Socket\_API#XBee\_Sockets\_Examples](http://www.digi.com/wiki/developer/index.php/XBee_Extensions_to_the_Python_Socket_API#XBee_Sockets_Examples) which has the newer AF\_XBEE.
