Homework

Your homework assignment for this week is to take what you’ve learned here and build a simple “echo” server.

The server should automatically return to any client that connects exactly what it receives (it should echo all messages).

You will also write a Python script that, when run, will send a message to the server and receive the reply, printing it to stdout.

Finally, you’ll do all of this so that it can be tested.

Your Task

In this repository you will find:

• A file tasks.txt that contains these instructions
• A skeleton for your server in echo_server.py
• A skeleton for your client script in echo_client.py
• Some simple tests in tests.py
• Your task is to make the tests pass.

Running the Tests

To run the tests, you’ll have to set the server running in one terminal:

$ python echo_server.py

Then, in a second terminal, you will execute the tests:

$ python tests.py

You should see output like this:
