Implementing a loop for a Python Socket Script

Question

I'm trying to implement a loop for this socket code, but I can't quite seem to wrap my head around it. Is anyone able to explain it for me?

Here's the code

import socket
HOST = '127.0.0.1' # The server's hostname or IP address
PORT = 65432 # The port used by the server
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
 s.connect((HOST, PORT))
 s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
 data = s.recv(1024)
print('Received', repr(data))

• Tim Roberts: A loop for what purpose? To just send, recv, and print? If so, then don't you think send, recv, and print need to be in a loop? I'm not sure where you are confused.

Answer 1

Do you possible mean this?

import socket
HOST = '127.0.0.1' # The server's hostname or IP address
PORT = 65432 # The port used by the server
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
 s.connect((HOST, PORT))
 while True:
 s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
 data = s.recv(1024)
 print('Received', repr(data))
