OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use
Means ip address 0.0.0.0 already using by some other python or any other app

so first free the app and than try to run

to get the list of all program with using ip address , run this command

 ps -fA | grep python

you will get output like this



root 1379 1 0 2019 ? 00:00:00 python3 /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown --wait-for-signal
odoo 1490 1 0 2019 ? 00:21:31 python3 /odoo/odoo-server/odoo-bin -c /etc/odoo-server.conf
ubuntu 16198 15698 0 07:56 pts/4 00:00:00 grep --color=auto python
ubuntu 12945 12613 0 07:15 pts/0 00:00:00 python app.py


now kill the process by command "kill"
like

kill 12945
