Why does the message send only once?

Because your server is designed to only accept one connection, wait
forever except there is an exception, and quit thereafter.

Personally, I like the Twisted framework more than low-level socket
interfaces. Consider giving it a try -- your code will be much
easier to read and maintain. You don't have to waste time
implementing the server or client basics but can fully concentrate
on your protocol(s).
