hi,
i am writing a socket program in python,both client side and server
side.I've written the client side which is working perfectly
fine(checked it against server program written in C).but as for my
server program written in python it simply hangs.it does not show any
error also.I've tried sample programs available .I don understand what
the reason is as i am quite new to it.
here is teh server side program:
///////////////////////
from socket import *
import socket
import sys
HOST = '' #any address
PORT = htons(9999) #same port address as client
try:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
except socket.error:
print 'socket not created'
try:
s.bind((HOST,PORT))
except socket.error:
print 'error in bind'
try:
s.listen(5)
except socket.error:
print 'error in listen'
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'Connected by', addr
while 1:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data: break
conn.send(data)
conn.close()
can someone tell me what the problem is?

Your applying a function designed to simplyfy transfering IP addresses to a
literal value you want to use for your port. The following should show the
effect thats now happening.

hi,
was stuck with another work.now bac to python program.
i tried out using
PORT = socket.htons(9999)
it still doesn't work.here is the code.it still hangs.can some one
tell me what could be te problem?
#from socket import *
import socket
import sys
HOST = '' #any address
PORT = socket.htons(9222) #same port address as client

def __init__ (self,parent):
try:
self.s = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
except socket.error:
print 'socket not created'
try:
self.s.bind((HOST,PORT))

Sorry for my brief answer last time, but I had hoped the code fragment I
posted would explain what was happening with your code.
Your code is almost a verbatum copy of the Python example, except you've
chosen to massage the port value using the HTONS function. So for most
architectures the port value 9999 or 9222 would be changed to somewhere in
the 3xxx port range. Any client trying to connect on those ports will fail.
Hence you noted success on a C server which isn't using that function, but
failure on your Python server which is. The solution is to just assign the
port value you want unchanged.

hi,
My one problem is solved,python server no more hangs,but my main
purpose still remains unsolved,my client is not able to establish
connection.my client is a C program running on a windows machine.On
running the python program,in the python shell i get this way
(cursor)
i assumed my server is waiting for a connection,but my client did not
connect,it failed.
I tried debugging the python program using the step by step debug
control.it moves till def __init__(Self,parent):
and stops(seems to be waiting).It does not move to the next line.
Can you tell me what is happening? and what is the problem with my
server program?Sorry for the trouble,
thanx

hi,
my initial program was to take host value as ''(INADDR_ANY)
only.during my trial and error only i started using
gethostname.however as of now i am running my client (C program) also
from the same machine only.so it should not make any difference.
I've reverted bac to host ''.my program still hangs.i 'v e tried
changing the port address,but doesn't work.pls help

Hi ...
the program actually works - but there is a quirk, look below for details.
////////////////
from socket import *
import sys
try:
s= socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
print 'socket created'
except error:
print 'socket not created'
host = ''
port = 9323
try:
s.bind((gethostname(),port))
You are binding the socket to the hostname of your computer, instead of
''. Thus it will only accept connections specific to the hostname and
therefor fail if you try to connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1
print 'bind success'
except error:
print 'bind'
try:
s.listen(1)
print 'listen success'
except error:
print 'listen'
conn,addr = s.accept()
print 'client is at ', addr
data = conn.recv(1024)
conn.send(data)
conn.close()

but i have a feeling that teher's some problem with the port or
some problem in the program that it hangs.can anyone help?or atleast

Hi
this is pretty odd. As mentioned in the previous mail, the program works
with my client program (written in Python by the way).
You keep saying that the programs 'hang', what do mean by that? I've
tried the program and all I can say is that it works. Are you sure that
your client works correctly?

hi,
Well i dono wat more to say.My client side is working properly ,the
error i get in the client side is connection refused.my client
responds to other server programs.
In my earlier postings i'd mentioned that while debugging i am not
able to understand what is happening at the def accept()(function call
in socket.py).
I use debugger control to debug,my program stays still at
accept().First i thought its waiting for a connection,but then my
client failed,morover my server is not ending.(it is not because of
the infinite while loop,i 've checked without the while loop).
When i try to close this program alone all the python applications
close.i guess itz hanging only.I don think it is system dependent.
Neways i tried from other machines ,the program still hangs.I am sorry
,but this is wat all i can say.
Do tell if there are any kind of problem related.
thanx,
AKR.

hi,
My problem is solved finally.......:-))))))))))
it was the problem with port address.my server side does not accept
little endian,i need to convert it to big endian form...like if am
using the port address 9020 on the client side ,the corresponding big
endian wud be 15395 ( to be used in my server).so that was wat was
creating so much trouble..
neways thanx a lot for all the help.
