Creating a simple socket server and client in python

creating a simple socket server and client in python is a great way to understand network programming. below, i'll provide you with a step-by-step tutorial, including code examples for both the server and client.

### step 1: understanding sockets

a socket is an endpoint for sending and receiving data across a computer network. in python, the `socket` module provides access to the bsd socket interface.

### step 2: setting up the server

1. **import the necessary modules**: you will need the `socket` module.
3. **bind the socket to an address and port**: this makes the server listen for incoming connections.
4. **listen for connections**: use the `listen()` method.
5. **accept connections**: use the `accept()` method to accept clients.
6. **receive and send data**: use the `recv()` and `send()` methods.
7. **close the connection**: when done, close the socket.

### step 3: setting up the client

1. **import the necessary modules**: again, you will use the `socket` module.
2. **create a socket object**: just like the server.
3. **connect to the server**: use the `connect()` method.
4. **send and receive data**: use the `send()` and `recv()` methods.
5. **close the socket**: after communication.

#### client code example:

### step 4: running the server and client

1. **run the server**: open a terminal and execute the server script.

2. **run the client**: open another terminal and execute the client script.


### step 5: explanation of key functions

- **`bind()`**: binds the socket to the specified address and port.
- **`listen()`**: prepares the socket to accept connections.
- **`accept()`**: blocks and waits for an incoming connection.
- **`recv(size)`**: receives data from the socket. the `size` parameter specifies the maximum amount of data to be received at once.
- **`sendall(dat ...
