I'm trying to make a python socket client/server chat app, but can't seem to work around this error. I've used netstat -a|findstr 7000 to make sure the port was available, and it was. I don't have any antivirus running besides Windows Security. I also tried it after turning off all firewalls on my computer--have not messed with firewall settings in my router. I'm running both files in Anaconda Powershell Prompt as admin.
Any help is appreciated.
Code for server.py :
from socket import AF_INET, socket, SOCK_STREAM
import threading
BUFSIZ = 1024
FORMAT = 'utf-8'
SERVER = '192.168.1.10'
ADDR = (SERVER, 7000)
server = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(ADDR)
sockets = {server}
clients = {}
def accept_incoming_connections():
while True:
client, client_addr = server.accept()
print ("%s:%s has connected." % client_addr)
client.send(bytes("Enter your name and press enter."), FORMAT)
sockets[client] = client_addr
# client_thread = threading.Thread(target=handle_client, args=(client,)).start()
def handle_client(client):
client_name = client.recv(BUFSIZ).decode(FORMAT)
client.send(bytes("Type .exit when you're ready to quit.", FORMAT))
msg = "%s has entered the chat." % client_name
broadcast(bytes(msg, FORMAT))
clients[client] = client_name
while True:
msg = client.recv(BUFSIZ)
if msg == bytes(".exit", FORMAT):
client.send(bytes(".exit", FORMAT))
client.close()
del clients[client]
broadcast(bytes("%s has left the chat." % client_name, FORMAT))
break
else:
broadcast(msg, client_name)
def broadcast(msg, name=""):
for client in clients:
client.send(bytes(name, FORMAT) + msg)
if __name__ == "__main__":
server.listen()
print("Awaiting connection.")
accept_incoming_connections()
Code for client.py :
import socket
import threading
BUFSIZ = 1024
FORMAT = 'utf-8'
SERVER = '192.168.1.10'
ADDR = (SERVER, 7000)
client_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
client_sock.connect(ADDR)
def receive():
msg = client_sock.recv(BUFSIZ).decode(FORMAT)
print(msg)
def send():
msg = input('Enter msg: ')
msg.encode(FORMAT)
client_sock.send(msg)
if msg == ".exit":
client_sock.close()
receive_thread = Thread(target=receive)
receive_thread.start()
EDIT: I fixed it. I set SERVER to 'localhost' and PORT to 9999 for both server and client.
I've problem with python socket at s.sendto(data,addr)
and my code like this
import socket
def Main():
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 5000
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind((host, port))
print("server started")
while True:
data, addr = s.recvfrom(1024)
print ("message from : "+ str(addr))
print ("from connected user : "+ str(data))
data = str(data.upper())
print ("sending : "+ str(data))
socket.sendto(data, addr)
and result
socket.sendto(data, addr)
AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'sendto'
s.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
Main()
and at UdpClient s.sendto is working
It seems that you mistyped the socket.sendto(... statement: The AttributeError is raised since the method sendto() is to be called from instances of the class socket.socket (as you have in s), and not from the socketmodule itself. See here for more details about the meaning of that statement.
So you basically need to change socket.sendto(... to s.sendto(...
also, if you want to check the attributes of any x object,(apart from reading the docs) you can simply check its x.__dict__ field, as explained here
cheers
I'm learning server- and client-side connections:
What I'm attempting to do is connecting server- and client-side scripts with each other on Qpython(android)
The problem is when I run it, it gives me this:
"ConnectionRefusedError: Errno [111] Connection Refused"
When I run the same scripts on my computer it gives me no error.
Background information:
I'm using 2 different apps on my phone
And 1 on my computer.
But I suppose that can't be the problem
Client
import socket
import sys
HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999
Data = " ".join(sys.argv[1:]) + input(" Enter Message:\n"
# Create a socket (SOCK_STREAM means a TCP socket)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
# Connect to server and send data
sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
sock.sendall(bytes(data + "\n", "utf-8"))
# Receive data from the server and shut down
received = str(sock.recv(1024), "utf-8")
finally:
sock.close()
print("Sent: {}".format(data))
print("Received: {}".format(received))
Server
import socketserver
class MyTCPHandler(socketserver.BaseRequestHandler):
def handle(self):
# self.request is the TCP socket connected to the client
self.data = self.request.recv(1024).strip()
print("{} wrote:".format(self.client_address[0]))
print(self.data)
# just send back the same data, but upper-cased
self.request.sendall(self.data.upper())
if __name__ == "__main__":
HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999
# Create the server, binding to localhost on port 9999
server = socketserver.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler)
server.serve_forever()
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind(('localhost', 8021))
s.listen(10)
while True:
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'got connected from', addr
s.send("sending to client")
conn.close()
s.close()
The problem is as soon i run my client code, it shows "got connected from ('127.0.0.1', 52764)" but then it shows the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Python27\server", line 13, in <module>
s.send("sending to client")
error: [Errno 10057] A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied
How can I correct it?
My client code is:
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
host = 'localhost'
port = 8021
s.connect((host, port))
revieved = s.recv(1024)
print "Recieved: ", recieved
Well, the answer is simple and I may snag some reputation here!
You are confusing your general socket with the specific client connection. What you receive from running s.accept() is a tuple which consists of: remote socket connection object and remote socket address. This way you can speak to specific client, by referring to the right connection object.
So the fixed could looks like this:
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind(('localhost', 8021))
s.listen(10)
while True:
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'got connected from', addr
conn.send("sending to client")
conn.close()
s.close()
Assuming that everything else is working fine!
So I am working on an iPhone app that requires a socket to handle multiple clients for online gaming. I have tried Twisted, and with much effort, I have failed to get a bunch of info to be sent at once, which is why I am now going to attempt socket.
My question is, using the code below, how would you be able to have multiple clients connected? I've tried lists, but I just can't figure out the format for that. How can this be accomplished where multiple clients are connected at once and I am able to send a message to a specific client?
Thank you!
#!/usr/bin/python # This is server.py file
import socket # Import socket module
s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object
host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name
port = 50000 # Reserve a port for your service.
print 'Server started!'
print 'Waiting for clients...'
s.bind((host, port)) # Bind to the port
s.listen(5) # Now wait for client connection.
c, addr = s.accept() # Establish connection with client.
print 'Got connection from', addr
while True:
msg = c.recv(1024)
print addr, ' >> ', msg
msg = raw_input('SERVER >> ')
c.send(msg);
#c.close() # Close the connection
Based on your question:

Using the code you gave, you can do this:
#!/usr/bin/python # This is server.py file
import socket # Import socket module
import thread
def on_new_client(clientsocket,addr):
while True:
msg = clientsocket.recv(1024)
#do some checks and if msg == someWeirdSignal: break:
print addr, ' >> ', msg
msg = raw_input('SERVER >> ')
#Maybe some code to compute the last digit of PI, play game or anything else can go here and when you are done.
clientsocket.send(msg)
clientsocket.close()
s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object
host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name
port = 50000 # Reserve a port for your service.
print 'Server started!'
print 'Waiting for clients...'
s.bind((host, port)) # Bind to the port
s.listen(5) # Now wait for client connection.
print 'Got connection from', addr
while True:
c, addr = s.accept() # Establish connection with client.
thread.start_new_thread(on_new_client,(c,addr))
#Note it's (addr,) not (addr) because second parameter is a tuple
#Edit: (c,addr)
#that's how you pass arguments to functions when creating new threads using thread module.
s.close()
As Eli Bendersky mentioned, you can use processes instead of threads, you can also check python threading module or other async sockets framework. Note: checks are left for you to implement how you want and this is just a basic framework.
accept can continuously provide new client connections. However, note that it, and other socket calls are usually blocking. Therefore you have a few options at this point:
Open new threads to handle clients, while the main thread goes back to accepting new clients
As above but with processes, instead of threads
Use asynchronous socket frameworks like Twisted, or a plethora of others
Here is the example from the SocketServer documentation which would make an excellent starting point
import SocketServer
class MyTCPHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):
"""
The RequestHandler class for our server.
It is instantiated once per connection to the server, and must
override the handle() method to implement communication to the
client.
"""
def handle(self):
# self.request is the TCP socket connected to the client
self.data = self.request.recv(1024).strip()
print "{} wrote:".format(self.client_address[0])
print self.data
# just send back the same data, but upper-cased
self.request.sendall(self.data.upper())
if __name__ == "__main__":
HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999
# Create the server, binding to localhost on port 9999
server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler)
# Activate the server; this will keep running until you
# interrupt the program with Ctrl-C
server.serve_forever()
Try it from a terminal like this
$ telnet localhost 9999
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Hello
HELLOConnection closed by foreign host.
$ telnet localhost 9999
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Sausage
SAUSAGEConnection closed by foreign host.
You'll probably need to use A Forking or Threading Mixin too
This program will open 26 sockets where you would be able to connect a lot of TCP clients to it.
