What is socket programming in Python?

Socket programming in Python allows you to create networked applications that communicate over the internet.

Can you explain how to create a simple server and client?

Sure! You can use the socket library. First, create a server using socket.socket(), bind it to an address, and listen for connections.

What about the client side?

The client also uses socket.socket(), connects to the server's address, and can send or receive data.

Can you provide a code example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

Server:

import socket
server_socket = socket.socket()
server_socket.bind(('localhost', 12345))
server_socket.listen(1)
conn, addr = server_socket.accept()
print('Connection from:', addr)
conn.send(b'Hello Client!')
conn.close()

Client:

import socket
client_socket = socket.socket()
client_socket.connect(('localhost', 12345))
print(client_socket.recv(1024))
client_socket.close()
