Talking Raspberries, TCP socket protocol in Phyton

Majority of my communication is handled via AutoRemote. It links my pc, mobile, tablet

and Raspberry PI 2 & 3. Its all good and dandy most of the times, until I try to issue a
python command to the other RPI. Turns out Raspberry PI TCP socket protocol in
python can candle client-host communication well. Socket in python is one of the low-
level protocols allowing passing over simple commands between 2 devices over the
internet. Communication is very fast, and script handling it is very lightweight.

Raspberry Pi TCP Socket protocol

Before we can use socket with python, we need to install this library on both devices
(client and host) to do so simply run this in terminal:

1 sudo apt-get install socket

After prompt installation you will be able to use socket libraries within your python
scripts. Below you can see the sample code that you can use in your creation. More
details on the structure of the code in the video.

As you can see from the example below, nothing stops you from writing a simple chat
protocol between both devices. Surely it wont be a Whatsapp competitor, but it is
something to explore for sure. Few things to remember:

Host connection has to be open, otherwise client will throw an exception

Port is linked to specific client and connection, you wont be able to share the
connection with other devices
If one of the sides terminates, connection is lost and new Host session needs to
be started
If you can live with these limitations, Raspberry Pi TCP socket provides you with
lightning fast responsiveness. How would you use Raspberry Pi socket protocol?
