[Tutor] Ctypes and Sockets

[Leo Nardo]

Looking for a complete introduction to ctypes that I can understand.
I learn well from David Malans stuff, and the book 'how to think like
a computer scientist for python 3'. Hope that helps with my learning
style.

I would also like someones input on the following code and what it
basically does. Im guessing it creates a connection between two
computers but sends no meaningful data? Is there a way i can
manipulate the following code to make it send strings or integers back
and forth?


""""""""" A simple
server""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

#!/usr/bin/python           # This is server.py file

import socket               # Import socket module

s = socket.socket()         # Create a socket object
host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name
port = 12345                # Reserve a port for your service.
s.bind((host, port))        # Bind to the port

s.listen(5)                 # Now wait for client connection.
while True:
   c, addr = s.accept()     # Establish connection with client.
   print 'Got connection from', addr
   c.send('Thank you for connecting')
   c.close()                # Close the connection
