from socket import *
from time import ctime
import threading
import keyboard
					

Define Variables

   
 
	
HOST = "localhost"
PORT = 10040
ADDRESS= (HOST,PORT)
server= socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(ADDRESS)
server.listen(5)
							

Define Function that shutdown the sever as

   
 
	def shutdown_server():
    server.close()							
							

Define Server and Client connection which start the communication between two end points

   
 
	
def server_client_connection():
     while True:
         try:
            print("watting for connection...")
            (client,address) = server.accept()
            print("... connected from : ",address)
            client.send(bytes(ctime()+"\n Have a nice day !",encoding="ascii"))
            client.close();
         except:
            server.close()
            print("Server Shutdown...");
            break							
							
							

Close the connection on keyboard enter button pressed

   
 
	
def close_the_connection():
        while True:            
             if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
                    t3=threading.Thread(target=shutdown_server()).start();
                    break;
							

Creating threads and start the server

   
 
	try:
    t1=threading.Thread(target= server_client_connection).start()
    t2=threading.Thread(target= close_the_connection).start()
except:
   print("Error: unable to start thread")			
							

Output

Socket Server Side

	
watting for connection...
... connected from :  ('127.0.0.1', 56346)
watting for connection...
						

Client using Telnet

		
C:\codenaive>telnet localhost 10080
