Python <-> C via sockets

Nick Keighley:
>    sin.sin_port = PORT;

"serv_addr.sin_port = htons(portno);

The second field of serv_addr is unsigned short sin_port , which contain
the port number. However, instead of simply copying the port number to
this field, it is necessary to convert this to network byte order using
the function htons() which converts a port number in host byte order to a
port number in network byte order."
