HI,

swtpm only listens on 127.0.0.1 by default, so unless you have changed that it wont be accessible by any other address.
docker compose seems to use the same network namespace for each container so localhost should work, but it might be as
simple as that the python script runs before swtpm is ready.
The unit tests for tpm2-pytss tries to connect to swtpm a couple of times with a small sleep in between each try to get
around that, so try adding for example time.sleep(5) before calling ESAPI(...) to see if that helps.
