Opening Sockets to TCP devices using scripting

That is funny. I was having ChatGPT do the same thing. I don't know enough about Java though to say if this is particularly good code.

# Import the Java Socket class from the java.net package
from java.net import Socket, InetAddress

TCP_IP = '192.168.1.100'
TCP_PORT = 17001
CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 5000  # Milliseconds (5 seconds)

try:
    # Create a new Java Socket instance
    s = Socket()
    s.connect(InetAddress.getByName(TCP_IP), TCP_PORT, CONNECTION_TIMEOUT)

    message = 'this is a text message'
    message_bytes = message.encode('utf-8')  # Convert the string to bytes with UTF-8 encoding
    s.getOutputStream().write(message_bytes)  # Send the bytes through the socket's output stream
    s.getOutputStream().flush()  # Ensure the data is sent immediately

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

finally:
    s.close()  # Close the socket after use

What kind of failure(s) are we talking about?
