socket.bind

socket.bind(address)

  • This function binds the socket to an address
  • Typically, we do this to the server socket
  • The format of address depends on the address family
  • In most cases, address needs to be a tuple (hostname, port)

Example of bind

>>> import socket
>>> sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)  # server socket
>>> addr = ('', 25000)   # listen on port 25000

>>> print(sock)
<socket.socket
 fd=3, proto=0,
 family=AddressFamily.AF_INET,
 type=SocketKind.SOCK_STREAM,
 laddr=('0.0.0.0', 0)>

>>> sock.bind(addr)
>>> print(sock)
<socket.socket
 fd=3, proto=0,
 family=AddressFamily.AF_INET,
 type=SocketKind.SOCK_STREAM,
 laddr=('0.0.0.0', 25000)>
