simple TCP Python client and server

client.py

from socket import *

HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 2600
ADDR = (HOST,PORT)
BUFFER = 4096

cli = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
cli.connect((ADDR))

data = cli.recv(BUFFER)
print data

cli.close()

server.py

from socket import *

HOST = ''   # or 127.0.0.1 or localhost
PORT = 2600
ADDR = (HOST,PORT)
BUFFER = 4096

#create a socket (SRV)
#see python docs for socket for more info

srv = socket(AF_INET,SOCKSTREAM)

#bind socket to address
srv.bind((ADDR))	#double parens create a tuple with one object
srv.listen(5) # maximum queued connections is 5

conn,addr = srv.accept() #accepts the connection
print '...connected!'
conn.send('TEST')

conn.close()
