Send IP notification with Python

I want to be able to send IP notifications through TCP to a server with a specific string. The idea behind the project is this: I have a camera that saves a picture on event (like movement) in a folder and I have a watchdog sort of program that watches that directory for changes i.e new files. I need this script to send the path to the picture through local network to the server that has a listener on that port 34000.

How can I achieve this?

The code I have right now is this (in the example I send 10 times the same message):

import byte
import socket

host = 'ip.of.the.host'
port = 34000

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((host, port))
for i in range(10):
   message = bytes('some message', 'utf-8')
   s.send(message)
s.close()

Here I have the error :

OSError: [WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket

The error is raised because the socket is not open, it's similar to this python socket programming OSError: [WinError 10038] an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket
