create a tcp server on a specific port in python

To create a TCP server in python, you first need to import the socket module. Then, you can create a socket object with the socket.AF_INET family (IPv4) and socket.SOCK_STREAM type (TCP). Next, you can bind the socket to a specific IP address and a port number using the bind method. Finally, you can listen for incoming connections using the listen method.

Here's an example of creating a TCP server on port 8000:

main.py
import socket

HOST = ''  # listen on all available network interfaces
PORT = 8000  # specify port number

# create a socket object with TCP
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# bind the socket to a specific IP address and port number
server_socket.bind((HOST, PORT))

# listen for incoming connections
server_socket.listen()

print('Server listening on port', PORT)

while True:
    # accept incoming connection
    client_socket, client_address = server_socket.accept()
    print('Accepted connection from', client_address)

    # do something with client_socket...

    # close the client socket
    client_socket.close()

Note that the above example only shows how to accept incoming connections and print some information about the client. You will need to add your own logic to handle the actual communication with the client. Also, be sure to handle any errors that may occur during socket creation, binding, or listening.
