"""
An annotated simple socket client example in python.

WARNING: This example doesn't show a very important aspect of
TCP - TCP doesn't preserve message boundaries. Please refer
to http://blog.stephencleary.com/2009/04/message-framing.html
before adapting this code to your application.

Runs in both python2 and python3.

import socket

# Note that the server may listen on a specific address or any address
# (signified by the empty string), but the client must specify an address to
# connect to. Here, we're connecting to the server on the same machine
# (127.0.0.1 is the "loopback" address).
SERVER_ADDRESS = '127.0.0.1'
SERVER_PORT = 22222

# Create the socket
c = socket.socket()

# Connect to the server. A port for the client is automatically allocated
# and bound by the operating system
c.connect((SERVER_ADDRESS, SERVER_PORT))

# Compatibility hack. In python3, input receives data from standard input. In
# python2, raw_input does exactly that, whereas input receives data, then
# "evaluates" the result; we don't want to do that. So on python2, overwrite
# the input symbol with a reference to raw_input. On python3, trap the
# exception and do nothing.
