socket programming python snippit code example

Example 1: send data through tcp sockets python

import socket
TCP_IP = '127.0.0.1'
TCP_PORT = 5005
BUFFER_SIZE = 1024
MESSAGE = "Hello, World!"
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((TCP_IP, TCP_PORT))
s.send(MESSAGE)
data = s.recv(BUFFER_SIZE)
s.close()
print "received data:", data

Example 2: tcp client using sockets in python

from socket import *
import sys
import json


serverName = ""
serverPort = 6100


clientSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
clientSocket.connect((serverName, serverPort))

sample_data = {
	"Aparna" : 1,
	"Pooja" : 2,
	"Shreya" : 3,
	"Tanishq" : 4
}

serialized_data = json.dumps(sample_data) #data serialized

# clientSocket.send(str.encode(sample_data))
clientSocket.send(str.encode(serialized_data))

response_data = clientSocket.recv(1024)
print("Response data from server : ", response_data.decode())

clientSocket.close()
