Python can also communicate via sockets. Commonly, the most useful socket type are Internet sockets.
[edit] Connecting to a server
This simple Python program will fetch a 4096 byte HTTP response from Google:
import socket import sys irc = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM ) irc.connect ( ( "google.com", 80 ) ) irc.send('GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n') irc.send('User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (wikibooks test)\r\n\r\n') f = irc.recv(4096) print f
