python socket send data from client to server

Question

I am building a simple Python server than will receive data from the client and print it on screen. This is my code so far.

SERVER CODE:

import socket

def server(interface, port):
        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
        sock.bind((interface, port))
        sock.listen(1)
        print('Listening at', sock.getsockname())

        while True:
                sc, sockname = sock.accept()
                print('We have accepted a connection from', sockname)
                print(' Socket name:', sc.getsockname())
                print(' Socket peer:', sc.getpeername())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    server('0.0.0.0', 8000)

CLIENT CODE:

import socket

def client(host, port):
        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        sock.connect((host, port))
        print('Client has been assigned socket name', sock.getsockname())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    client('localhost', 8000)

No matter how I tried to send data from the client to the server, it always errored out saying: Transport endpoint is not connected.

Try Using 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.X (your private ip which you can find by using ipconfig in cmd) instead of localhost, this worked for me
