Question

Some advice was given here

Python Sockets use function instead of global socket call

and I thought it was working but now seems to not be any ideas on how to make the following code work?

def testMethod():
    socks = {}
    socks['i'] = createConnection(host, port)
    socks['i'].send("Hello  world")
    print "Sent Hello World"

This is the error message I get

'int' object has no attribute 'send'

*cheers

and ty for any advice

Answer 1

The problem is in your createConnection function. It is returning an int rather than a socket. Can you share your implementation of createConnection?

To make this more answer like:

In your case, createConnection is returning an integer, a socket handle perhaps, but I’m guessing because the implementation isn’t available.

the method should look something like

import socket
def createConnetion(host, port):
  sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
  sock.connect((host, port))
  return sock
