python tcp socket example
# Basic example where server accepts messages from client.
# importing socket library
import socket
# socket.AF_INET means we're using IPv4 ( IP version 4 )
# socket.SOCK_STREAM means we're using TCP protocol for data transfer
socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
print("Choose mode. s - server, c - client")
mode = input("> ")
if mode == "s":
ip = input("Your computer's ip address: ")
port = 80
# Binding socket to specified ip address and port
socket.bind((ip, port))
# This is max ammount of clients we will accept
socket.listen(1)
# Accepting connection from client
sock, addr = socket.accept()
print("Client connected from", addr)
# Receiving data from client
while True:
data = sock.recv(16384) # Raw data from client
text = data.decode('utf-8') # Decoding it
print("Message from client:", text)
elif mode == "c":
ip = input("Server ip address: ")
# Connecting to server
socket.connect((ip, 80))
# Sending data
while True:
socket.send(input("Message: ").encode('utf-8'))
