ERROR DESCRIPTION:

ImportError: cannot import name SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE

ImportError: cannot import name SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE             

LOCAL FIX:
commenting out the SO_ExlusiveAddreuse line from                
/usr/WebSphere/AppServer/optionalLibraries/jython/Lib/socket.py 
but this obviously is not a long term solution and not one we   
want to go into Production with.                                

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server
performing an upgrade from 9.0.5.X to
9.0.5.15. Does not affect users who install
9.0.5.15.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Users cannot run the scripts that
import
Jython libraries after applying fixpack
9.0.5.15.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

There is an issue with the update process that doesn't allow the
new jython files to be updated. This is because jython files are
listed as nsf, meaning it should not be updated.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Jython Lib files under WAS_HOME/optionalLibraries/jython/Lib are
updated to 2.7.2 version.                                       
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack     
9.0.5.16. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for    
WebSphere Application Server':
