simply extend the example from
http://www.python.org/doc/2.1.2/lib/socket-example.html
in the following way

# Echo client program
import socket
HOST = 'localhost'    # The remote host
PORT = 50007              # The same port as used by the server
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
#################################################################
YOUR_CLIENT_PORT_NUMBER=50008
s.bind((HOST, YOUR_CLIENT_PORT_NUMBER))
#################################################################
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.send('Hello, world')
data = s.recv(1024)
s.close()
print 'Received', `data`
