- 4. • Sockets are interior endpoints built for sending and receiving data • A single network will have two sockets • Sockets are a combination of an IP address and a Port www.edureka.co/python

- 7. • Import the socket module or framework • This module consists of built-in methods that are required for creating sockets and help them associate with each other www.edureka.co/python
- 8. Methods Description socket.socket() Used to create sockets (required on both server as well as client ends to create sockets) socket.accept() Used to accept a connection. It returns a pair of values (conn, address) socket.bind() Used to bind to the address that is specified as a parameter socket.close() Used to bind to the address that is specified as a parameter socket.connect() Used to mark the socket as closed socket.listen() Used to connect to a remote address specified as the parameter Important methods of the socket module www.edureka.co/python
- 10. www.edureka.co/python • Either a program, a computer, or a device • Devoted to managing network resources • Can be on the same device or computer or local or even remote Server Client • Computer or software that receives information or services • Clients requests for services from servers • The best example is a web browser www.edureka.co/python
- 13. • Socket Programming in Python also allows you to transfer Python objects such as sets, tuples, dictionaries, etc. • To achieve this, you need to import the pickle module. www.edureka.co/python
