Résumé

One reason for the Python programming language's popularity is its vast assortment of convenient and flexible features. Python's networking capabilities are no different, offering unfettered access to your operating system's networking library, not to mention many different modules that provide complete protocol implementations such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, DNS, and others. Whether you want to write network-enabled applications that communicate with the computer down the hall or the server across the ocean, Python is the language for you. And I want to help you get going fast, so I've included over 175 example programs.

The first part of this book discusses client and server design, which are the building blocks of every network-oriented application. You'll learn how to write applications that take advantage of IPv6, how to communicate with domain name servers, how to fetch web pages, and more.

In the second part of the book, I'll show you how to write applications that are capable of sending and receiving e-mail, serving static and dynamic web pages, transferring files, and executing other commonplace network-oriented tasks. You'll also learn how to build web-based Python applications using the mod_python Apache module.

In the final part of the book, I focus on more advanced topics, teaching you how to use multitasking and non-blocking I/O to create servers that are capable of handling thousands of clients. Along the way, you'll learn many secrets to successful network programming. And most important, with over 6,600 lines of self-contained, ready-to-run code, you'll be able to immediately put the concepts you learn into practice.
