input() gives you port as string but socket needs it as integer

port = int(port)

  • Doesnt Work Again********** host = input("Enter The Server Ip: ") port = input("Enter The Server Port: ") serversocket.bind((host, int(port))) ************* error : line 11, in serversocket.bind((host, int(port))) OSError: [WinError 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context – Emad Roshan Jun 15 '20 at 15:46
  • what address did you use as IP ? It seems you uses wrong value. It has to be your local IP (local IP of your network card or wifi) or `0.0.0.0`. And it is different problem which has nothing to do with previous problem. – furas Jun 15 '20 at 16:02
