Python script to connect to socket.io Server created using Nodejs

Question

I hosted a HTTP server at http://localhost:8090 using nodejs.

app.js file

var fs = require('fs')
, http = require('http')
, socketio = require('socket.io');

var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
        res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-type': 'text/html'});
        res.end(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/index.html'));
        }).listen(8090, function() {
            console.log('Listening at: http://localhost:8090');
            });

socketio.listen(server).on('connection', function (socket) {

        socket.on('message', function (msg) {
        console.log('Message Received: ', msg);
        socket.broadcast.emit('message', msg);
        });        
    });
});

Now I write a python script to connect to this server using socket programming.

client.py file

#!/usr/bin/python           # This is client.py file

import socket               # Import socket module

s = socket.socket()         # Create a socket object
host = '127.0.0.1'     # Get local machine name
port = 8090                # Reserve a port for your service.

s.connect((host, port))
s.send('Thanks for connecting.')
s.close

When I run the client.py file, I'm unable to receive the 'Thanks for connecting' message at the server side.

I'm unable to understand where I'm going wrong.

Socket.io uses creates WebSocket server. In python client you are sending plain text through raw socket. What you need is socket.io client library for python.
