I've read online both in ebooks and tutorials on how sockets work. All of which give a different example on how to get this set up. I've searched this forum as well, but can anyone provide an example of code that just sets up a socket and the client sends text and then ends the connects with the server socket.


Thanks!

Quick example (no error checking):

import socket

mysock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
mysock.connect((127.0.0.1, 50007))
mysock.send("Hello, World!")
mysock.close()

Look here for more info: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-socket.html

Can you maybe provide a server example as well ?

Thanks for the sample code as well, it's much appreciated.

[NetBSD]

import

server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(('', 50007))
server.listen(1024)

(client, addr) = server.accept()
print "Connection: ", addr[0]

input = client.recv(1024)
print "Received: ", input

client.close()
server.close()

It shouldn't be too hard to expand on these to make them interactive if you so desire.

EDIT: There are some good protocol dependent and indepentent examples here: http://docs.python.org/lib/socket-example.html
