To write Internet servers, we use the socket function available in socket module to create a socket object. A socket object is then used to call other functions to setup a socket server.
Now call bind(hostname, port) function to specify a port for your service on the given host.
Next, call the accept method of the returned object. This method waits until a client connects to the port you specified, and then returns a connection object that represents the connection to that client.
#!/usr/bin/python
# This is server.py file
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()
# Output the message and Close the connection
