This project contains a simple echo client/server program that demonstrates the use of the socket module in Python. The client sends a message to the server, and the server sends the message back to the client.

To run this project, you will need to have Python installed on your computer.

To start the server, use the following command:

python echoserver.py

The server will listen for incoming connections on a specified port (the default is 8000).

To start the client, use the following command:

python echoclient.py

The client will prompt you to enter a message to send to the server. The server will receive the message and send it back to the client, which will then print the received message.

You can customize the behavior of the server and client by modifying the handle_client function in the server script and the send_message function in the client script. For example, you could add additional functionality to the message handling process, such as logging the messages or implementing additional commands.

The socket module is a powerful tool for building networked applications in Python. This simple echo client/server program is just a demonstration of the capabilities of the socket module, and there are many other ways that it can be used in a variety of applications.
