socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

On Windows Vista/7, with UAC, administrator accounts run programs in unprivileged mode by default.

Programs must prompt for administrator access before they run as administrator, with the ever-so-familiar UAC dialog. Since Python scripts aren't directly executable, there's no "Run as Administrator" context menu option.

It's possible to use ctypes.windll.shell32.IsUserAnAdmin() to detect whether the script has admin access, and ShellExecuteEx with the 'runas' verb on python.exe, with sys.argv[0] as a parameter to prompt the UAC dialog if needed.

OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.What to do?

Try localhost, if host is not working. Like for eg. host='127.0.0.1' #( The server's hostname or IP address)and use a port >1023 (As those are non-privileged ports)
If its still not working, you can try changing your network and try the same steps. If any further issue occurs regarding the same error there must be a issue with your system, for that try factory reset. Then it will work 100%
Best of luck.

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions (Bottle) (Python)

Does this problem go away when you try port 8000 instead of 80?

You're trying to bind to port 80. I don't know Windows, but on Linux your code would fail because port 80 (like all ports below 1024) is privileged--only root can bind to them. That's why you'll see most tutorials and web framework defaults use a high port number, typically 8000 or 8080.

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. Why?

Most likely the socket is held by some process. Use netstat -o to find which one.
