#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib
fromAddr = raw_input(‘From: ‘)
toAddr = raw_input(‘To: ‘)
Subject = raw_input(‘Subject: ‘)
Message = raw_input(‘Message: ‘)
Email = ‘Subject: ‘+Subject+’\n\n’+Message
Server = smtplib.SMTP(“BlackPearl”,25)
Server.sendmail(fromAddr, toAddr, Email)

Python Socket: Updated Client Server

This is a modification of the previous one
#!/usr/bin/python
import socket
import sys
if len(sys.argv) < 3:
<tab>print ‘Usage: %s [hostname] [portnumber]‘ % sys.argv[0]
<tab> sys.exit(1)
server = sys.argv[1]
port = int(sys.argv[2])
msg = ’start’
#Setup a standard internet socket. Connects to a server
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect((server,port))
while msg != ‘exit’:
<tab> msg = raw_input(‘Enter a Message: ‘)
<tab>sock.send(msg)
<tab>data = sock.recv(1024)
<tab>print ‘Received Message: ‘, data
sock.close()
#!/usr/bin/python
import socket
import sys
if len(sys.argv) < [...]
