Server socket methods

The following are some server socket methods, which are also shown in the following code:

• bind(): With this method, we can define in which port our server will be listening to connections
• listen(backlog): This method makes the socket accept connections and accept to start listening to connections
• accept(): This method is used for accepting the following connection:

import socketserversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)#bind the socket to localhost on port 80serversocket.bind((‘localhost', 80))#become a server socket and listen a maximum of 10 connectionsserversocket.listen(10)
