I'm writing a simple app that uses socket programming, I'm using the following
from tutorialspoint as a framework but I'm having a couple of issues
implementing it.
First - this code constantly loops around an open socket. Is there a way to use
something like an interrupt so I don't have to loop constantly to monitor the
socket?
Second, if any part of the program fails execution (crashes) the port often
remains open on my windows machine and the only way to close it that i know of
is through task manager or by rebooting the machine. Is there an easy way
around this problem ? If I don't close the port the program can't open it again
and crashes.
Thanks for looking
SERVER:
import socket # Import socket module
s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object
host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name
port = 12345 # Reserve a port for your service.
s.bind((host, port)) # Bind to the port
s.listen(5) # Now wait for client connection.
while True:
c, addr = s.accept() # Establish connection with client.
print 'Got connection from', addr
c.send('Thank you for connecting')
c.close() # Close the connection
CLIENT:
import socket # Import socket module
s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object
host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name
port = 12345 # Reserve a port for your service.
s.connect((host, port))
print s.recv(1024)
s.close # Close the socket when done
