SocketServer — A framework for network servers

每个服务器类中最主要的是有两个子类：

BaseHTTPServer:

	HTTPServer

	BaseHTTPRequestHandler

SocketServer

       TCPServer

  BaseRequestHandler


SocketServer有四个基本的子类： TCPServer， UDPServer，UnixStreamServer and UnixDatagramServer

创建一个server需要以下几个步骤：

1 you must create a request handler class by subclassing the BaseRequestHandler class and overriding its handle() method,，handle（）方法主要是接受输入的请求。

2  you must instantiate one of the server classes(server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler)), passing it the server’s address and the request handler class

3  call the handle_request() or serve_forever() method of the server object to process one or many requests

结构图：

+------------+
| BaseServer |
+------------+
      |
      v
+-----------+        +------------------+
| TCPServer |------->| UnixStreamServer |
+-----------+        +------------------+
      |
      v
+-----------+        +--------------------+
| UDPServer |------->| UnixDatagramServer |

server code:

import SocketServer

class MyTCPHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):
    """
    The RequestHandler class for our server.

    It is instantiated once per connection to the server, and must
    override the handle() method to implement communication to the
    client.
    """

    def handle(self):
        # self.request is the TCP socket connected to the client
        self.data = self.request.recv(1024).strip()
        print "%s wrote:" % self.client_address[0]
        print self.data
        # just send back the same data, but upper-cased
        self.request.send(self.data.upper())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9999

    # Create the server, binding to localhost on port 9999
    server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler)

    # Activate the server; this will keep running until you
    # interrupt the program with Ctrl-C
    server.serve_forever()
