socket([family[, type[, proto]]]) -> socket object
Open a socket of the given type. The family argument specifies the
address family; it defaults to AF_INET. The type argument specifies
whether this is a stream (SOCK_STREAM, this is the default)
or datagram (SOCK_DGRAM) socket. The protocol argument defaults to 0,
specifying the default protocol. Keyword arguments are accepted.
A socket object represents one endpoint of a network connection.
Methods of socket objects (keyword arguments not allowed):
accept() -- accept a connection, returning new socket and client address
bind(addr) -- bind the socket to a local address
close() -- close the socket
connect(addr) -- connect the socket to a remote address
connect_ex(addr) -- connect, return an error code instead of an exception
dup() -- return a new socket object identical to the current one [*]
fileno() -- return underlying file descriptor
getpeername() -- return remote address [*]
getsockname() -- return local address
getsockopt(level, optname[, buflen]) -- get socket options
gettimeout() -- return timeout or None
listen(n) -- start listening for incoming connections
makefile([mode, [bufsize]]) -- return a file object for the socket [*]
recv(buflen[, flags]) -- receive data
recv_into(buffer[, nbytes[, flags]]) -- receive data (into a buffer)
recvfrom(buflen[, flags]) -- receive data and sender's address
recvfrom_into(buffer[, nbytes, [, flags])
-- receive data and sender's address (into a buffer)
sendall(data[, flags]) -- send all data
send(data[, flags]) -- send data, may not send all of it
sendto(data[, flags], addr) -- send data to a given address
setblocking(0 | 1) -- set or clear the blocking I/O flag
setsockopt(level, optname, value) -- set socket options
settimeout(None | float) -- set or clear the timeout
shutdown(how) -- shut down traffic in one or both directions

Methods defined here:
- __getattribute__(...)
- x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name
- __init__(...)
- x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
- __repr__(...)
- x.__repr__() <==> repr(x)
- accept(...)
- accept() -> (socket object, address info)
Wait for an incoming connection. Return a new socket representing the
connection, and the address of the client. For IP sockets, the address
info is a pair (hostaddr, port).
- bind(...)
- bind(address)
Bind the socket to a local address. For IP sockets, the address is a
pair (host, port); the host must refer to the local host. For raw packet
sockets the address is a tuple (ifname, proto [,pkttype [,hatype]])
- close(...)
- close()
Close the socket. It cannot be used after this call.
- connect(...)
- connect(address)
Connect the socket to a remote address. For IP sockets, the address
is a pair (host, port).
- connect_ex(...)
- connect_ex(address) -> errno
This is like connect(address), but returns an error code (the errno value)
instead of raising an exception when an error occurs.
- dup(...)
- dup() -> socket object
Return a new socket object connected to the same system resource.
- fileno(...)
- fileno() -> integer
Return the integer file descriptor of the socket.
- getpeername(...)
- getpeername() -> address info
Return the address of the remote endpoint. For IP sockets, the address
info is a pair (hostaddr, port).
- getsockname(...)
- getsockname() -> address info
Return the address of the local endpoint. For IP sockets, the address
info is a pair (hostaddr, port).
- getsockopt(...)
- getsockopt(level, option[, buffersize]) -> value
Get a socket option. See the Unix manual for level and option.
If a nonzero buffersize argument is given, the return value is a
string of that length; otherwise it is an integer.
- gettimeout(...)
- gettimeout() -> timeout
Returns the timeout in seconds (float) associated with socket
operations. A timeout of None indicates that timeouts on socket
operations are disabled.
- listen(...)
- listen(backlog)
Enable a server to accept connections. The backlog argument must be at
least 0 (if it is lower, it is set to 0); it specifies the number of
unaccepted connections that the system will allow before refusing new
connections.
- makefile(...)
- makefile([mode[, buffersize]]) -> file object
Return a regular file object corresponding to the socket.
The mode and buffersize arguments are as for the built-in open() function.
- recv(...)
- recv(buffersize[, flags]) -> data
Receive up to buffersize bytes from the socket. For the optional flags
argument, see the Unix manual. When no data is available, block until
at least one byte is available or until the remote end is closed. When
the remote end is closed and all data is read, return the empty string.
- recv_into(...)
- recv_into(buffer, [nbytes[, flags]]) -> nbytes_read
A version of recv() that stores its data into a buffer rather than creating
a new string. Receive up to buffersize bytes from the socket. If buffersize
is not specified (or 0), receive up to the size available in the given buffer.
See recv() for documentation about the flags.
- recvfrom(...)
- recvfrom(buffersize[, flags]) -> (data, address info)
Like recv(buffersize, flags) but also return the sender's address info.
- recvfrom_into(...)
- recvfrom_into(buffer[, nbytes[, flags]]) -> (nbytes, address info)
Like recv_into(buffer[, nbytes[, flags]]) but also return the sender's address info.
- send(...)
- send(data[, flags]) -> count
Send a data string to the socket. For the optional flags
argument, see the Unix manual. Return the number of bytes
sent; this may be less than len(data) if the network is busy.
- sendall(...)
- sendall(data[, flags])
Send a data string to the socket. For the optional flags
argument, see the Unix manual. This calls send() repeatedly
until all data is sent. If an error occurs, it's impossible
to tell how much data has been sent.
- sendto(...)
- sendto(data[, flags], address) -> count
Like send(data, flags) but allows specifying the destination address.
For IP sockets, the address is a pair (hostaddr, port).
- setblocking(...)
- setblocking(flag)
Set the socket to blocking (flag is true) or non-blocking (false).
setblocking(True) is equivalent to settimeout(None);
setblocking(False) is equivalent to settimeout(0.0).
- setsockopt(...)
- setsockopt(level, option, value)
Set a socket option. See the Unix manual for level and option.
The value argument can either be an integer or a string.
- settimeout(...)
- settimeout(timeout)
Set a timeout on socket operations. 'timeout' can be a float,
giving in seconds, or None. Setting a timeout of None disables
the timeout feature and is equivalent to setblocking(1).
Setting a timeout of zero is the same as setblocking(0).
- shutdown(...)
- shutdown(flag)
Shut down the reading side of the socket (flag == SHUT_RD), the writing side
of the socket (flag == SHUT_WR), or both ends (flag == SHUT_RDWR).
