Simple experiment with nanomsg.

nn.py

# -- server.py --

from datetime import datetime
import nanomsg as nn
import time

ADDRESS = 'tcp://*:5556'

socket = nn.Socket(nn.REP)
socket.bind(ADDRESS)

print("Server is running...")
while True:
	reqmsg = socket.recv()
	print(".")
	if (reqmsg == b"date"):
		repmsg = str(datetime.now())
		bytes_sent = socket.send(repmsg)



# -- client.py --

import nanomsg as nn

ADDRESS = 'tcp://127.0.0.1:5556'

socket = nn.Socket(nn.REQ)
socket.connect(ADDRESS)

for i in range(10):
	reqmsg = "date"
	socket.send(reqmsg)
	repmsg = socket.recv()
	print(repmsg)

socket.close()
