Simple TCP Server

[shift838]

I am very new to Python scripting.

I want to create a simple TCP server that will listen on a specified port and as soon as a connection is made it will display a message to the  user connected over the socket then close the connection and wait for the next connection.

I found the below code and I have modified it a bit to display the message I want it to, but I want it to close the connect after my message is displayed

How can I close the below connection?  I would even like to be able to close the connection after instead after the first message is displayed after the connection.

import socket
from threading import *

serversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
host = "192.168.1.104"
port = 8888
print (host)
print (port)
serversocket.bind((host, port))
msg = b'Connected to FuSiON BBS!\n\r\n\rCurrently Down\n\r\n\rPlease call back later...\n\r\n\r'
class client(Thread):
    def __init__(self, socket, address):
        Thread.__init__(self)
        self.sock = socket
        self.addr = address
        self.start()

    def run(self):
        while 1:
            print('Client sent:', self.sock.recv(1024).decode())
            self.sock.send(msg)
####WANT TO CLOSE HERE###
serversocket.listen(5)
print ('server started and listening')

while 1:

clientsocket, address = serversocket.accept()
clientsocket.send(b'[--- Press Enter ---]\n\r\n\r')
client(clientsocket, address)

You should just try Python's http.server

    def run(self):
        while 1:
            print('Client sent:', self.sock.recv(1024).decode())
            self.sock.send(msg)

self.sock.close()?

If you're doing anything more than just messing around, you should probably use something designed for being fast at a low level, like Twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/)

I tried that already.  And I just get the typical 

File "mysocksvr2.py", line 22, in <module>
    self.sock.close
NameError: name 'self' is not defined

My clients are not connecting via the http protocol but a telnet protocol from older 8 bit computers.

If self isn't defined, then how is self.sock.send(msg) working?
