+Examples
+--------
+
+:class:`socketserver.TCPServer` Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the server side::
+
+ import socketserver
+
+ class MyTCPHandler(socketserver.BaseRequestHandler):
+ """
+ The RequestHandler class for our server.
+
+ It is instantiated once per connection to the server, and must
+ override the handle() method to implement communication to the
+ client.
+ """
+
+ def handle(self):
+ # self.request is the TCP socket connected to the client
+ self.data = self.request.recv(1024).strip()
+ print "%s wrote:" % self.client_address[0]
+ print self.data
+ # just send back the same data, but upper-cased
+ self.request.send(self.data.upper())
+
+ if __name__ == "__main__":
+ HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999
+
+ # Create the server, binding to localhost on port 9999
+ server = socketserver.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler)
+
+ # Activate the server; this will keep running until you
+ # interrupt the program with Ctrl-C
+ server.serve_forever()
+
+An alternative request handler class that makes use of streams (file-like
+objects that simplify communication by providing the standard file interface)::
+
+ class MyTCPHandler(socketserver.StreamRequestHandler):
+
+ def handle(self):
+ # self.rfile is a file-like object created by the handler;
+ # we can now use e.g. readline() instead of raw recv() calls
+ self.data = self.rfile.readline().strip()
+ print "%s wrote:" % self.client_address[0]
+ print self.data
+ # Likewise, self.wfile is a file-like object used to write back
+ # to the client
+ self.wfile.write(self.data.upper())
+
+The difference is that the ``readline()`` call in the second handler will call
+``recv()`` multiple times until it encounters a newline character, while the
+single ``recv()`` call in the first handler will just return what has been sent
+from the client in one ``send()`` call.
+
+
+This is the client side::
+
+ import socket
+ import sys
+
+ HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999
+ data = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])
+
+ # Create a socket (SOCK_STREAM means a TCP socket)
+ sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+
+ # Connect to server and send data
+ sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
+ sock.send(data + "\n")
+
+ # Receive data from the server and shut down
+ received = sock.recv(1024)
+ sock.close()
+
+ print "Sent: %s" % data
+ print "Received: %s" % received
+
+
+The output of the example should look something like this:
+
+Server::
+
+ $ python TCPServer.py
+ 127.0.0.1 wrote:
+ hello world with TCP
+ 127.0.0.1 wrote:
+ python is nice
+
+Client::
+
+ $ python TCPClient.py hello world with TCP
+ Sent: hello world with TCP
+ Received: HELLO WORLD WITH TCP
+ $ python TCPClient.py python is nice
+ Sent: python is nice
+ Received: PYTHON IS NICE
+
+
+:class:`socketserver.UDPServer` Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the server side::
+
+ import socketserver
+
+ class MyUDPHandler(socketserver.BaseRequestHandler):
+ """
+ This class works similar to the TCP handler class, except that
+ self.request consists of a pair of data and client socket, and since
+ there is no connection the client address must be given explicitly
+ when sending data back via sendto().
+ """
+
+ def handle(self):
+ data = self.request[0].strip()
+ socket = self.request[1]
+ print "%s wrote:" % self.client_address[0]
+ print data
+ socket.sendto(data.upper(), self.client_address)
+
+ if __name__ == "__main__":
+ HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999
+ server = socketserver.UDPServer((HOST, PORT), BaseUDPRequestHandler)
+ server.serve_forever()
+
+This is the client side::
+
+ import socket
+ import sys
+
+ HOST, PORT = "localhost"
+ data = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])
+
+ # SOCK_DGRAM is the socket type to use for UDP sockets
+ sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
+
+ # As you can see, there is no connect() call; UDP has no connections.
+ # Instead, data is directly sent to the recipient via sendto().
+ sock.sendto(data + "\n", (HOST, PORT))
+ received = sock.recv(1024)
+
+ print "Sent: %s" % data
+ print "Received: %s" % received
+
+The output of the example should look exactly like for the TCP server example.
+
+
+Asynchronous Mixins
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To build asynchronous handlers, use the :class:`ThreadingMixIn` and
+:class:`ForkingMixIn` classes.
+
+An example for the :class:`ThreadingMixIn` class::
+
+ import socket
+ import threading
+ import socketserver
+
+ class ThreadedTCPRequestHandler(socketserver.BaseRequestHandler):
+
+ def handle(self):
+ data = self.request.recv(1024)
+ cur_thread = threading.currentThread()
+ response = "%s: %s" % (cur_thread.getName(), data)
+ self.request.send(response)
+
+ class ThreadedTCPServer(socketserver.ThreadingMixIn, socketserver.TCPServer):
+ pass
+
+ def client(ip, port, message):
+ sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
+ sock.connect((ip, port))
+ sock.send(message)
+ response = sock.recv(1024)
+ print "Received: %s" % response
+ sock.close()
+
+ if __name__ == "__main__":
+ # Port 0 means to select an arbitrary unused port
+ HOST, PORT = "localhost", 0
+
+ server = ThreadedTCPServer((HOST, PORT), ThreadedTCPRequestHandler)
+ ip, port = server.server_address
+
+ # Start a thread with the server -- that thread will then start one
+ # more thread for each request
+ server_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.serve_forever)
+ # Exit the server thread when the main thread terminates
+ server_thread.setDaemon(True)
+ server_thread.start()
+ print "Server loop running in thread:", t.getName()
+
+ client(ip, port, "Hello World 1")
+ client(ip, port, "Hello World 2")
+ client(ip, port, "Hello World 3")
+
+ server.shutdown()
+
+The output of the example should look something like this::
+
+ $ python ThreadedTCPServer.py
+ Server loop running in thread: Thread-1
+ Received: Thread-2: Hello World 1
+ Received: Thread-3: Hello World 2
+ Received: Thread-4: Hello World 3
+
+
+The :class:`ForkingMixIn` class is used in the same way, except that the server
+will spawn a new process for each request.
