You should determine which code is the server and which one is the client. I assume your Python code is your server.
You can run a server in python using:
import socket
HOST = '0.0.0.0'
PORT = 9999
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen()
conn, addr = s.accept()
with conn:
print('Connected by', addr)
while True:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data:
break
conn.sendall(data)
And then you can connect your Nodejs client code to the server:
var net = require('net');
var HOST = '127.0.0.1';
var PORT = 9999;
var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(PORT, HOST, function() {
console.log('CONNECTED TO: ' + HOST + ':' + PORT);
// Write a message to the socket as soon as the client is connected, the server will receive it as message from the client
client.write('Message from client');
});
// Add a 'data' event handler for the client socket
// data is what the server sent to this socket
client.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('DATA: ' + data);
// Close the client socket completely
client.destroy();
});
// Add a 'close' event handler for the client socket
client.on('close', function() {
console.log('Connection closed');
});
