 12 # Create a TCP/IP socket
 13 server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
 14 #创建一个socket，作用和文件描述符差不多（基于linux一切皆文件的哲学思想），recv相当于read（），send相当于write（）。默认socket.socket默认就是加socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM这两个参数。
 15 server.setblocking(False)
 16 #sk.setblocking(bool) 是否阻塞（默认True），如果设置False，那么accept和recv时一旦无数据，则报错。accept和recv默认是阻塞的。

 18 # Bind the socket to the port
 19 server_address = ('localhost', 10000)

 22  
 23 # Listen for incoming connections
 24 server.listen(5)
 25 #理论上监听队列的长度（backlog）就是取listen和maxconn(系统层次的限定值)的最小值（）
 #如果客户端没有被处理的请求数超过了这个值，或者请求了一个没有侦听的端口就会报（socket.error: [Errno 10061] ）
# 5，表示内核已经接到了连接请求，但服务器还没有调用accept进行处理的连接个数最大为5
      这个值不能无限大，因为要在内核中维护连接队列
