21. Network Programming and Sockets
This chapter describes the modules used to implement low-level network servers and clients. Python provides extensive network support, ranging from programming directly with sockets to working with high-level application protocols such as HTTP. To begin, a very brief (and admittedly terse) introduction to network programming is presented. Readers are advised to consult a book such as UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1: Networking APIs: Sockets and XTI by W. Richard Stevens (Prentice Hall, 1997, ISBN 0-13-490012-X) for many of the advanced details. Chapter 22, “Internet Application Programming,” describes modules related to application-level protocols.
