basic server in python

To create a basic server in Python, you can use the sockets and networking libraries. Here's an example using the HTTP protocol:


main.py
import socket

HOST, PORT = '', 8888

# create a TCP socket
listen_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
listen_socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
listen_socket.bind((HOST, PORT))
listen_socket.listen(1)

print(f'Serving HTTP on {HOST} port {PORT}...')

while True:
    # wait for a client connection
    client_connection, client_address = listen_socket.accept()
    # receive the request data
    request_data = client_connection.recv(1024)
    print(request_data.decode('utf-8'))

    # create the HTTP response
    http_response = """\
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello, World!
"""

    # send the HTTP response
    client_connection.sendall(http_response.encode('utf-8'))
    # close the connection
    client_connection.close()
770 chars
31 lines

This creates a TCP socket and listens for incoming connections on port 8888. When a client connects, it receives the client connection and decodes the request data. It then creates an HTTP response and sends it back to the client, before closing the connection.
