 host = "example.org"  
 port = 80  
 # Create socket  
 # AF_INET address family  
 # SOCK_STREAM connection protocol  
 socket_object = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)  
 # connect to host  
 socket_object.connect((host, port))  
 # Get peer address  
 socket_object.getpeername()  
 # Get own address  
 socket_object.getsockname()  
 # send data  
 socket_object.sendall('Hello, world')  
 # receive data  
 data = socket_object.recv(1024)  
 # close connection  
 socket_object.close()  
 print 'Received', repr(data)
