import _thread as thread

HOST = ''   # Symbolic name meaning all available interfaces
PORT = 8888 # Arbitrary non-privileged port

missionSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

    sys.exit()

print(("MissionFX Socket bind complete"))

#Start listening on socket

print(("MissionFX Socket now listening"))

#Function for handling connections. This will be used to create threads
def missionclientthread(s):

    #Receiving from client

    print(('Data received: ' + data.decode('utf-8')))
    reply = (b'Hello MissionFX')
    print(('Reply for sent ' , reply))
    s.sendall(reply)
    print(("Reply sent"))

    s.close()

#now keep talking with the client
while 1:
    #wait to accept a connection - blocking call
    conn, addr = missionSocket.accept()

    print(("Connected with " + addr[0] + ':' + str(addr[1])))

    #start new thread takes 1st argument as a function name to be run, 
    #second is the tuple of arguments to the function.
