python tcp request code example

Example: 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'))
