[Tutor] error_connection_refused

[BILAL Mustapha]

Hello,

  I am trying to lunch a small python program but I am always getting 
this error:

s.connect((IP, PORT))
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
     return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

What's weird that it doesn't even print the line "test sending data" so 
how it could get to s.connect() without passing through this line!!

Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import socket
import thread
import time
from threading import Thread
import threading
import sys
IP = "130.190.31.167"
PADDING = "a" * 1000
DATA = PADDING + "this is sentence number = "
PORT = 8000
killed = False
count=0

def main():
     print("the network manager process is created")
     send_data()
def send_data():
*print("test sending data")*
     s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
*s.connect((IP, PORT))*
     while killed==False:
      count= count+1
      sent = s.send(DATA+ str(count) + "\n")
      if sent == 0:
       print 'The connection is died'
       killed=True
       s.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
     main()

Many thanks
