Python-在公共Internet协议上制作套接字服务器

Question

On Python I would like to make a python server on my public IP...

import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.bind(("Public IP", 80))
s.listen(5)
conn, addr = s.accept()

But once it hits the bind command

error: [Errno 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context

How would I fix this, how would I get other people around the globe to connect to my python server.

Answer 1

You can only bind to an address that's configured on an interface on your local machine. Since you're using the phrase "public IP", I'm assuming that your public IP is only configured on your router, and your computer has a private address on your local network.

Have your program bind to the machine's local IP, or to any IP available (eg, ("", 80) ), then configure port forwarding on your router appropriately.
