Creating a Simple Chat Application with Python
Posted on May 1st, 2008 | by Ankur Shrivastava |Creating application with Python is very simple, here is a simple chat application made by using the socket module, it has 2 parts First Server and Second client, you run the server first and then connect the client to it, here is the code
Here is the Server Code
#!/usr/bin/env python
from socket import *
from time import time, ctime
IP = ''
PORT = 23456
ADS = (IP, PORT)
tcpsoc = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
tcpsoc.bind(ADS)
tcpsoc.listen(5)
while 1:
print "Waiting for connection"
tcpcli, addr = tcpsoc.accept()
print "connected from:", addr
while 1:
data = tcpcli.recv(1024)
if not data : break
print data
data1 = raw_input(">>")
if data1 == "q;t": break
tcpcli.send(data1)
tcpcli.close()
tcpsoc.close()
Here is the client code
#!/usr/bin/env python
from socket import *
IP = ''
PORT = 23456
ADS = (IP, PORT)
tcpsoc = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
tcpsoc.connect(ADS)
while 1:
data = raw_input("msg>>")
if not data : break
tcpsoc.send(data)
data = tcpsoc.recv(1024)
if not data: break
print data
tcpsoc.close()
the code above might not be properly intended so you can download the code from http://fb.ankurs.com/tcp_server.py and http://fb.ankurs.com/tcp_client.py
enjoy!!!
