The official companion repository of example code for the third edition of 'Foundations of Python Network Programming' (Apress), revised for Python 3. It contains per-chapter scripts covering sockets, TCP/UDP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, email protocols, SSH, FTP, and RPC.

Use cases

  • learn python network programming
  • example code for tcp and udp sockets in python
  • how to do TLS/SSL in python
  • python email sending and IMAP examples
  • study material for python networking book
  • python http client and server examples
  • learn DNS resolution and socket names in python

When to choose

  • you are reading the book and want its runnable example code
  • you want well-designed, pedagogical Python 3 networking examples
  • you need reference snippets for protocols like SMTP, IMAP, FTP, or RPC in Python

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready networking library or framework
  • you want actively developed software with a license and support
  • you need modern async (asyncio) networking patterns, which the third edition predates
