I'm probably missing something rather obvious, but is there a known
problem with getting a Python based socket program to communicate with
a C based socket program? A simple echo server written in Python
(the example from Python in a Nutshell actually) will happily talk
to a Python based client. If a C based client is substitued the connection
is refused (or so the C client reports). The C client will talk to
a C server.

Nick Keighley: is there a known problem with getting a Python based socket program to
communicate with a C based socket program?
No. Client and server are completely independent and can be implemented in
any language.
They must speak the same application level protocol of course, on top of
TCP/IP.

Communications between C and Python via sockets definetly work: we do that every
day (no kidding ;-)
Can you post an example of your code?

After adding the missing htons and replacing the raise_report's by printf's,
works like a charm here (Linux Mandrake 8.0 with Python 2.1).
What is exactly the error you get?

hi,
I 've already posted a message to this group but i think You guys can
provide a solution faster.My problem is similar ,my client side
(written in python) is not able to connect to the server side
(written in C) in the same machine.
my server side works perfectly fine and it waits for a connection to b
established.However my client gives error "10061.connection
refused".Will send you the code of both server side and client side.:
server side:
------------
#include<stdio.h>
#include<winsock2.h>
#include <windows.h>
SOCKET recvSock,WinSocket,slisten;
WSADATA WSAData;
SOCKADDR_IN Acceptor;
SOCKADDR_IN Connector;
int TypeOfCon;
int Initialise();
SOCKET ListenSocket();
int RecvBuff(BYTE * RecdBuffer,int size);
void Close();
unsigned char * RecdBuffer;
int main()
{
int flag;
flag = Initialise();
slisten= ListenSocket();
flag = RecvBuff(RecdBuffer,20);
Close();
return 1;
}
int Initialise()
{
WSAStartup (MAKEWORD(1,1), &WSAData);
WinSocket = socket (AF_INET/*2*/, SOCK_STREAM/*1*/, 0);
recvSock = socket (AF_INET/*2*/, SOCK_STREAM/*1*/, 0);
return 1;
}
SOCKET ListenSocket()
{
int error;
int sizeofaddr;
sizeofaddr = sizeof(Acceptor);
/*BOOL mcast ;
mcast= TRUE;*/
Acceptor.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
Acceptor.sin_family = AF_INET;
Acceptor.sin_port = 9999;
bind(WinSocket,(const SOCKADDR *)&Acceptor,sizeof(Acceptor));
error = GetLastError();
if(error)
{
return 0;
}
listen(WinSocket,1);
error = GetLastError();
if(error)
{
return 0;
}
recvSock = accept((SOCKET)WinSocket,(SOCKADDR
*)&Acceptor,&sizeofaddr);
error = GetLastError();
if(error)
{
return 0;
}
return recvSock;
}
int RecvBuff(BYTE * Buffer,int size)
{
int amount,error;
amount = recv(recvSock,(char *)Buffer,size,0);
error = GetLastError();
if(error)
{
return 0;
}
else
return 1;
}
void Close()
{
closesocket(WinSocket);
closesocket(recvSock);
}
client side:
-------------
import socket
#HOST = '130.10.5.38' # The remote host
#PORT = 50007 # The same port as used by the server
try:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
except socket.error:
print 'socket not creadted'
try:
s.connect(("130.10.5.38", 9999))
except socket.error,msg:
print 'error in connect'
#s.send('Hello, world')
#data = s.recv(1024)
s.close()
#print 'Received', `data`
I'd gone thru the discussion above,so i guess probably the problem
with my code is also on the port address only.Pls help.
thanx,
