Sending Streaming Data
sSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
sSock.connect((serverHost, serverPort))
line = raw_input("Send to %s: " % (serverHost))
sSock.send(line+'\n')
data = sSock.recv(1024)
To send streaming data to the streaming server described in the previous task, first create the client socket by calling socket(family, type [, proto]), which creates and returns a new socket.
Once the streaming client-side socket has been created, it can connect to the streaming server using the connect(address) method, where address refers to a tuple in the form of (hostname, port).
After the streaming client-side socket has connected to the server-side socket, data can be streamed to the server by formatting a stream of data that ends with the newline character and sending it to the server using the send(string [,flags]) method.
A response from the server is received from the socket using the recv(buffsize [,flags]) method.
import sys
from socket import *
serverHost = 'localhost'
serverPort = 50008
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
serverHost = sys.argv[1]
#Create socket
sSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
#Connect to server
sSock.connect((serverHost, serverPort))
#Stream data to server.
line = ""
while line != 'bye':
line = raw_input("Send to %s: " % (serverHost))
sSock.send(line+'\n')
data = sSock.recv(1024)
print 'data'
sSock.shutdown(0)
sSock.close()
