Hmm well i think you may find it is because when you call socket.close()
your socket becomes blank so to speak.

 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#! /usr/bin/env python
import socket, string
 
def doconn():
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    sock.connect(("localhost", 1234))
def dodiscon():
    sock.close()
    doconn()
 
doconn()
 
while (1):
    buffer = sock.recv(1024)
    if not buffer:
        dodiscon()
#! /usr/bin/env python
import socket, string

def doconn():
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    sock.connect(("localhost", 1234))
def dodiscon():
    sock.close()
    doconn()

doconn()

while (1):
    buffer = sock.recv(1024)
    if not buffer:
        dodiscon()

and so by moving the declaration of your socket into your doconn() function everytime you try to connect it re-defines the socket.

I thinks this works anyway plus i've no doubt been talking aload of rubbish but there we go
