The project has the scope to help me understand how to play with sockets using python3 language. It's a simple client-server protocol implementation that allows client to contact the server, ask to execute sums and have a result back.
- python3
There are different folders for different variation of the protocol. The simple structure common to each version provide 2 python files: my_client.py and my_server.py. Obviously my_server.py is the server implementation, while my_client.py the client.
The server my_server.py takes in input the port number where will be listening. So, assuming you're using Bash, it can be launched this way:
python3 my_server.py 2000The client my_client.py takes in input the server IP or name and the port number where the server is listening. So, assuming you're using Bash, it can be launched this way:
python3 my_client.py localhost 2000Or alternatively:
python3 my_client.py 127.0.0.1 2000This is the first and simplest version. In this version the server works with only one client per-time: only when a client has finished his calculation the server can accept a connection from another one.
