zmq.error.ZMQError: No such device

I got this error in my program:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scriptA.py", line 17, in <module>
socketPub.bind("tcp://localhost:%s"% portPub)
File "socket.pyx", line 434, in zmq.backend.cython.socket.Socket.bind (zmq/backend/cython/socket.c:3928)
File "checkrc.pxd", line 21, in zmq.backend.cython.checkrc._check_rc (zmq/backend/cython/socket.c:6058)
zmq.error.ZMQError: No such device

This is a simple script I have done to reproduce it:

import zmq
import random
import sys
import time

port = "5566"
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    port =  sys.argv[1]
    int(port)

portSub = "5556"
context = zmq.Context()

portPub = "5566"
#contextPub = zmq.Context()
socketPub = context.socket(zmq.PUB)
socketPub.bind("tcp://localhost:%s"% portPub)

socket = context.socket(zmq.SUB)
socket.connect("tcp://localhost:%s"% portSub)
socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE,'')


while True:
    socket.send("BB", zmq.SNDMORE)
    socket.send("16", zmq.SNDMORE)
    socket.send("14", zmq.SNDMORE)
    socket.send("11", zmq.SNDMORE)
    socket.send("4")
    time.sleep(3)

I want to subscribe to one point and be able to send to another one. Is it possible? 2 differents end points. A sends to B and B sends to C.

Your port numbers do not match. From your code:

portSub = "5556"
portPub = "5566"

So you are binding to one port and connecting to another. Make sure the ports match or simply do:

portSub = "5556"
portPub = portSub

Furthermore, I'm not sure if your binding-string "tcp://localhost:%s"% portPub is correct. When working with ZMQ, I always use the Asterisk * instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1. This always works for me and is something you can try if changing the port number does not make it work: "tcp://*:%s"% portPub (or I prefer f'tcp://*:{portPub}', which is more readable I think). I think you have to use the binding-string I propose. Your connection-string seems to be fine.

Try to replace localhost by 127.0.0.1.
