Problem with Python 3 socket

[JChris]

I need to create a simple server-client interface with Python sockets. This is the code I have:

server.py

sock = socket.socket()
sock.bind((address, port))
sock.listen(5)
client_sock, client_address = self.sock.accept()

while True:
    data = client_socket.recv(1024)
    msg = 'Server got: ' + data.decode()  
    client_socket.sendall(msg.encode())
    client_socket.close()

client.py

		sock = socket.socket()
		sock.connect(server_address)

		sock.sendall(request.encode())
		data = sock.recv(1024)

		while data:
			print(data.decode())
			data = sock.recv(1024)

		sock.close()

But I'm getting the error 'OSError: [WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket' on the server side.

I want to read whatever is in the stream and them close it.

I'm surprised that's the error you get, because I see a whole lot of undefined variables.

Please post the whole code and not just parts.
For me it looks like copy&pasted code from other sources.
For example in your server.py:

sock = socket.socket()
...
client_sock, client_address = self.sock.accept()

self.sock.accept is inside a class, but you assigned before to sock.

So post your whole code, that we can copy it and get a similar StackTrace.
Don't be shy :-D

SOLVED. All I needed was a sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR) after the sock.sendall(...) in the client. Now the client sends all that and tell the server it's over, then the server can close its end properly and all is good.
