Question

I am having a python socket client program. what I need to do is my client should wait for server to be available for connection then connect with the server. any Idea to get this?

Thanks in advance….

Probably the easiest solution is to run socket.connect_ex() in while loop, something like (assuming you want to use tcp)

import socket
from time import sleep
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
while s.connect_ex(("10.0.0.1", 80)) != 0:
    sleep(10)
