How to interact with Remote Server using Python Sockets

I am trying to connect to a server using python sockets. I am able to make a connection and fetch the response data. However, I want the socket communication to be interactive from the client side.

For instance, if I use netcat to connect to the server, the communication is interactive:

nc aa.bb.cc.dd 1234

Server greets you
I can enter the input here
Server responds to my input

However, when I make the connection using python sockets, all I receive is the greeting from the Server and program completes execution.

Here is the python code I am using:

#! /usr/bin/python

import os
import sys
import socket

host = "aa.bb.cc.dd"
port = 1234

remote_ip = socket.gethostbyname(host)

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.connect((remote_ip, port))
print s.recv(1024)

I want to modify the above python program so that I can send inputs to the Server as well.

Thanks.
