[Tutor] should we use multithreading for multiple clients in socket class

[Surya K]

I am learning networking and just wrote a primitive client server program..
server:
from time import ctimefrom socket import *
HOST = ""PORT = 21567BUFSIZ = 1024ADDR = (HOST, PORT)
tcpSerSoc = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)tcpSerSoc.bind(ADDR)tcpSerSoc.listen(5)
while True:    print "waiting for connection.."    tcpCliSoc, addr = tcpSerSoc.accept()    print "# Connected from:", addr        while True:        data = tcpCliSoc.recv(BUFSIZ)        if not data:            break        tcpCliSoc.send( "[%s] %s" % (ctime(), data ))    tcpCliSoc.clock()tcpSerSoc.close()            
Client:
from socket import *
HOST = 'localhost'PORT = 21567BUFSIZ = 1024ADDR = (HOST, PORT)
tcpCliSoc = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)tcpCliSoc.connect(ADDR)
while True:    data = raw_input(">")    if not data:        break    tcpCliSoc.send(data)    data = tcpCliSoc.recv(BUFSIZ)    if not data:        break    print datatcpCliSoc.close()
This client sends a string, and receives the same string with current time...

So, I tried to run another client (same code but from different file) but found that its now working.
why its happening, should I use multithreading so that I can handle two clients simultaneously??
