create_server function of Python socket module

Overview:

Making a TCP server involves a four-step process of making calls to the create(), bind(), listen() and accept() functions of the socket module.
The function create_server() wraps the first two steps of this process into a single call.
Creation of the server socket can be using an IPv4 address or an IPV6 address as specified by the argument family.
The accepted client connections can be both IPv4 based and IPv6 based or just IPv4 based.

Example:

# Example Python program that uses
# the socket.create_server() function to
# create a socket
import socket

# Create a socket and bind to the IP, port
server = socket.create_server(("2402:e280:215d:21b:8542:99d7:4400:8f07",
35491),
family = socket.AF_INET6)
# Move to listen state
server.listen()

# Serve to connection requests
print("Server starts to accept connections from clients...")
while(True):
   serveOn = server.accept()
   print("Connection accepted...client details:",serveOn[1])
   msg = "hi"
   clientMsg=serveOn[0].recv(1024)
   print("Message received:%s"%clientMsg.decode())
   print("Sending greetings to client")
   serveOn[0].send(msg.encode())
   serveOn[0].close()
   print("Connection to client closed")

Client:

#Example Python program that creates a clitn socket
#using the address family AF_INET6
import socket

# Create a socket
socketObject = socket.socket(family=socket.AF_INET6)

# Connect to the server
socketObject.connect(("2402:e280:215d:21b:8542:99d7:4400:8f07", 35491))
print("Connected to server")

# Send a hello
msg = "Hello!"
bytes = str.encode(msg)
socketObject.sendall(bytes)

# Receive the data
data = socketObject.recv(1024)
print("Server said:%s"%data.decode())

socketObject.close()

Server output:

Server starts to accept connections from clients...

Connection accepted...client details: ('2402:e280:215d:21b:81f7:4515:f9ab:ebd8', 61270, 0, 0)

Message received:Hello!

Sending greetings to client

Connection to client closed

Client output:

Connected to server

Server said:hi
