Good catch! Thank you.

Which race do you have in mind? The server socket doesn't need to do
.accept() before a client socket can connect -- the server socket only
needs to have done .listen() for a connection to succeed.
> + listener_ready = threading.Event()
...
[in the server]

> s.bind(('', PORT))
> s.listen(5)
> + listener_ready.set()
> s.accept()
...
[in the client]

> s.connect(('localhost', PORT))
Because the server doesn't set listener_ready until after the server
has done listen(), and the client waits for that event, it "should
be" 100% reliable that the client's connect() succeeds.
Or do you have some other race in mind?
