Python socket programming-saving data from socket

Question

Answer 1

You can take a look at these answers regarding connecting a socket and reading from it. Then it's a simple matter of opening a file and writing to it:

open("output.dat", "a").write(data)

The first parameter to 'open' is the file name, the second parameter is the mode (e.g. write, append, et cetera); the method called within the returned object 'write' has a parameter of the data you wish to write. As one statement, the file closes automatically. Otherwise you will want to close it with close() to ensure the cache is flushed to the disk, and the file handle is discarded properly.
