socket.accept()
socket.accept() is a Python method in the Socket Module category. Accepts a connection. Returns (client_socket, client_address) tuple. The syntax is socket.accept(). Returns: (socket, address) tuple. A typical example: client, addr = s.accept()
print(f"Connected by {addr}")
data = client.recv(1024). A close sibling is socket.socket(), which creates a socket for network communication. Default creates a TCP/IP socket. A close sibling is socket.bind(), which binds the socket to a local address (host, port) for receiving connections. A close sibling is socket.listen(), which enables the socket to accept connection requests (server mode). A close sibling is socket.connect(), which connects the socket to a remote address (client mode). More about this category: Network communication — socket, connect, bind, listen, accept, send, recv.
