SocketServer class - basis problem

So I'm new to this python stuff - and this has me stumped

# server
import SocketServer

PORT = 8037

class myRequestHandle r(SocketServer. StreamRequestHa ndler):
def handle(self):
self.input = self.rfile.read (1024)
print self.input
self.wfile.writ e("blah")

server = SocketServer.TC PServer(("", PORT), myRequestHandle r)
print "listening on port", PORT
server.serve_fo rever()

# client
import socket

HOST = socket.gethostn ame()
PORT = 8037

s = socket.socket(s ocket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
s.connect((HOST , PORT))
s.send('Hello, world')

# Fails
data = s.recv(1024)

s.close()
print 'Received', data

Why does s.recv() hang the client? It seems like server is not
handing back "blah", but I'm sure it is.....this should be
easy...(sigh)

Hello, Leonard,
data = s.recv(1024)
s.close()
print 'Received', data

Why does s.recv() hang the client? It seems like server is not
handing back "blah", but I'm sure it is..... I think that the socket buffer is not full (since you are waiting for
1024 and "blah" is not enough).
this should be easy...(sigh)

If it was that easy it won't be interesting ;-)

Have a look at http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/sockets/

I think that the socket buffer is not full (since you are waiting for
1024 and "blah" is not enough).


This is not how the size parameter to recv() is used. It is a
*maximum*, meaning any amount of data from zero bytes (if the
socket is closed) to that value will be returned, with *no*
guarantees how much is actually returned. Often, but absolutely
not always, you will get a whole "line" and newbies will be
deceived into thinking it's enough just to recv(1024) and
carry on, but eventually such code will fail.

Let's say you have a SocketServer with the threading mix-in and you run serve_forever on it. How can you shut it down, or rather, how can it even shut itself down? Even if you use a handle_request loop instead of serve_forever, it still seems difficult: class myserver(ThreadingMixIn, TCPServer): pass server = myserver(...) server.shutdown = False while not server.shutdown: server.handle_request()

I have a socket server like below which I want to exit when it's out of data. If I interrupt the client, I'll get a broken pipe on the server side, and after a Ctrl-C, I can restart the server again, but if I let it run out of data, and exit via handle_error as can be seen below, I will get a socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use') when I try to restart the server. (Unless I wait a minute or so, or use another port.) I feel like I'm...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
