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!!!
