# An example script to connect to Google using socket

import socket
import sys

try:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
print "Socket successfully created"
except socket.error as err:
print "socket creation failed with error %s" %(err)

# default port for socket


port = 80

try:
host_ip = socket.gethostbyname('www.google.com')
except socket.gaierror:

# this means could not resolve the host


print "there was an error resolving the host"
sys.exit()

# connecting to the server


s.connect((host_ip, port))

print "the socket has successfully connected to google \


on port == %s" %(host_ip)

output:
Socket successfully created
the socket has successfully connected to google
on port == 173.194.40.19
Server :

# first of all import the socket library


import socket

# next create a socket object


s = socket.socket()
print "Socket successfully created"

# reserve a port on your computer in our


# case it is 12345 but it can be anything
port = 12345

# Next bind to the port


# we have not typed any ip in the ip field
# instead we have inputted an empty string
# this makes the server listen to requests
# coming from other computers on the network
s.bind(('', port))
print "socket binded to %s" %(port)

# put the socket into listening mode


s.listen(5)
print "socket is listening"

# a forever loop until we interrupt it or


# an error occurs
while True:

# Establish connection with client.


c, addr = s.accept()
print 'Got connection from', addr

# send a thank you message to the client.


c.send('Thank you for connecting')

# Close the connection with the client


c.close()
client:

# start the server


$ python server.py

$ telnet localhost 12345

Output :
# in the server.py terminal you will see
# this output:
Socket successfully created
socket binded to 12345
socket is listening
Got connection from ('127.0.0.1', 52617)

# In the telnet terminal you will get this:


Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Thank you for connectingConnection closed by foreign host.
# Import socket module
import socket

# Create a socket object


s = socket.socket()

# Define the port on which you want to connect


port = 12345

# connect to the server on local computer


s.connect(('127.0.0.1', port))

# receive data from the server


print s.recv(1024)
# close the connection
s.close()

# start the server:


$ python server.py
Socket successfully created

socket is listening
Got connection from ('127.0.0.1', 52617)

# start the client:
