Makefile() method of socket class

# Example Python program that writes to the file object associated with
# a TCP/IP based server socket using the method socket.makefile()
import socket

# Create server socket

# Bind to an IP & port
svr.bind(("127.0.0.1",1236))

# Enter into listening state
svr.listen()

# Accepting client connections

    print("Sent response to the client")
    fileObject.flush()

    clientSocket.close()

Listening for incoming connections:

Sent response to the client

Hello!

That was the response from your server...
