When I have successfully connected to a socket like this:

Code:

import socket
network = socket.socket()
network.connect_ex(("my ip", 61111))

I am trying to send something to the port like this:

Code:

network.send("Hi")

But I get an error!

Python Shell wrote:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
network.send("hi")
error: [Errno 10057] A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied

HELP! yikes

HELP!

Out of curiosity, what is connect_ex()?

It's like connect, but returns a warning code instead of an exception when it fails!

Hang on, I think I may know the problem now...

This ruins everything!

Okay, now I replaced "connect_ex" with "bind", and I connect fine, but when I try to send, I get the same error?

Does 'bind()' not keep the connection going or something?

Do you have a server running? Bind is for servers.

Now I'm seriously confused...

Okay, let me try to understand:
The server binds to a port so that the client can connect to the server?

How? Please post so other people can see how you did it for future reference.

Basically, in order to open a port for clients to connect to, you need to use

Code:

network = socket.socket()
network.bind((ip, port))
network.listen(backlog)

As Magnie pointed out, "bind()" is only used for the server side, so the client uses

Code:

sock = socket.socket()
sock.connect((ip, port))

It was just a little bit of confusion on my part. Magnie could probably explain it better. smile
