I am working on a super simple socket program and I have code for the client and code for the server. How do I run both these .py files at the same time to see if they work ?

You can run multiple instances of IDLE/Python shell at the same time. So open IDLE and run the server code and then open up IDLE again, which will start a separate instance and then run your client code.
