Can I bypass number-limit while specifying the port for socket library in Python?

Question

So I was selecting the port number for a Python backdoor. When I kept a large number like 5979543, it said it was invalid.
So... anyway to bypass that restriction?

No. The port number in the TCP and UDP header is 16 bit which allows for a maximum port number of 65535. No way to assign a higher port number since it cannot be represented in the communication packets.
