see below regarding port numbers

I assume it is this code that is not doing what you expect?
Try using more descriptive print statements.
Also, when debugging, never use a print that could be blank,
always have a fixed string so you can see it. So instead of

print(data)

use

print('Received: ', data)

That way you can see that data was empty rather than that
the print didn't execute.

I'd also put a print(finished') or similar after closing
the socket.

port 80 is usually reserved for http traffic, better
to choose a port number greater than 1024 for user
programs.

I'd up the queue size to at least 3  or 5.
You are not leaving much room for errors.

Is this print appearing OK?

I'd add a print here too, to verify that the send worked.

It's not clear what you mean by "the output".
Are you getting anything printed? At the client and the server?

It might help to show us a cut n paste from both client
and server.
