Number of active sockets on a port?

>>import socket
>>s=socket.socket() //creates a TCP socket of address family; internet appications IPv4
>>s.bind(("0.0.0.0",8888))
>>s.listen(2)
>>client,addr=s.accept()

How can I find out the number of IPs trying to connect to the socket I created?

You can always have a counter and it will be incremented by one, on every connection received.

    connectionCounter = 0
    while True:
        connectionCounter += 1
        c, addr = s.accept()
        print 'Connection number: ' + str(connectionCounter)
        c.send('Thank you for your connecting')
        c.close()

I am adding a video link below to demonstrate the same. I hope it helps.

Demonstration of the above code

By using curl I am making connection request to the server.

while True:
    c, addr = s.accept()
    print 'Got connection from', addr
    c.send('Thank you for your connecting')
    c.close()

this will indicate the connections initiated!

You can try to use the netstat command to check the network connections. Can't find a way to do this in pure python code.
