This is SEVERELY broken

DO NOT USE FOR ANYTHING!

This wasnt my code, i forked it from someone and fixed few issues. any way let me know what the issues are please @stackola thanks

you are welcome @Bharghav-Baddam

@mj2266 yes please I'm interested of it I would be thankful for you

Also please I'm looking for another help from you I want to make it as client server, where client send hi and server response

@balasmeh you can contact me here https://www.linkedin.com/in/manjyotsingh-nanra-6a4999152/

does this one work on python3. Thanks
