According to "Python in a Nutshell(2nd)", p. 523:
connect: s.connect((host, port))
...
Blocks until the server accepts or rejects the connection attempt.
However, my client program ends immediately after the call to
connect()--even though my server program does not call accept():
#server----------------
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
port = 3200
s.bind( ('', port) )
s.listen(5)
import time
time.sleep(20)
#client----------------
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
host = 'localhost'
port = 3200
s.connect( (host, port) )
print 'done'
If I start my server program and then start my client program, the
client ends immediately and displays: done. I expected the client
program to block indefinitely.
