Answer 1

It seems that your indentation is off in the Python server, as the code to send the message back to the client is unreachable.

Even after fixing the indentation, your server implementation is not correct, as msg is not a String. You need to decode msg as seen below. Also, you need to send the length of the message as a short since you're using DataInputStream#readUTF in your client:

import socket

soc = socket.socket()
host = "localhost"
port = 2004
soc.bind((host, port))
soc.listen(5)

while True:
    conn, addr = soc.accept()
    print("Got connection from",addr)
    length_of_message = int.from_bytes(conn.recv(2), byteorder='big')
    msg = conn.recv(length_of_message).decode("UTF-8")
    print(msg)
    print(length_of_message)

    # Note the corrected indentation below
    if "Hello"in msg:
        message_to_send = "bye".encode("UTF-8")
        conn.send(len(message_to_send).to_bytes(2, byteorder='big'))
        conn.send(message_to_send)
    else:
        print("no message")
