End-of-line problems maybe? On packet radio CR is the de facto EOL
character. Python file objects readline() method probably seeks
for a LF...

Have you tried eg. sys.stdin.read(1) to see if you get what you
wrote back one character at a time?

I'd say it's because the connection was closed. Although ENOTCONN is
a somewhat strange error here... hmm.
