This looks like a problem with Windows sockets.  I know
the program works perfectly on Unix -- i tested it.

Does it work if you implement the readline() routine
without makefile()?  That is, add this:

    def readline(sock):
        line = ""
        while 1:
            ch = sock.recv(1)
            line = line + ch
            if ch == "\n" or not ch: return line

and replace this:
    
    text = sock.makefile().readline()

with this:

    text = readline(sock)
