read/write to java socket in python

[Dave Baum]

Your server program is using readLine(), which will block until a 
newline is received.  The server code does not write a newline, so it is 
waiting at recv() for data from the server, and the server is still 
waiting for a newline.  If you change the client to do the following, it 
should work:

s.send("Hi Java Server\n");
