Attempting secure socket communication between client and server and getting An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket error

I am attempting to piece together a secure socket client server communication solution. I do not have experience in doing so, so have cobbled together what I believe are relevant sections. The idea is that the Server waits for connections, the client creates a connection that is secure and then communication can take place.
The code also utilizes secure communication in authorization with client and server keys and certificates.
client code:
class Client:
def __init__(self):
try:
self.host, self.port = "127.0.0.1", 65416
self.client_cert = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "client.crt")
self.client_key = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "client.key")
self._context = ssl.SSLContext()
self._context.load_cert_chain(self.client_cert, self.client_key)

self._ssock.connect((HOST, PORT))
print ("Socket successfully created")
except socket.error as err:
print ("socket creation failed with error %s" %(err))
print('Waiting for connection')
Response = self._ssock.recv(1024)
while True:
Input = input('Say Something: ')
# s.send(str.encode(Input))

The lines:
def threaded_client(self, conn: socket):
conn.send(str.encode('Welcome to the Server'))
result in the error:
[WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket
When I removed the certificate related lines in client:
self.client_cert = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "client.crt")
self.client_key = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "client.key")
self._context = ssl.SSLContext()
self._context.load_cert_chain(self.client_cert, self.client_key)
and the certificate related lines in the server:
self.server_cert = path.join(path.dirname(__file__), "server.crt")
self.server_key = path.join(path.dirname(__file__), "server.key")
self.client_cert = path.join(path.dirname(__file__), "client.crt")
self._context = ssl.create_default_context(ssl.Purpose.CLIENT_AUTH)
self._context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED
self._context.load_cert_chain(self.server_cert, self.server_key)
self._context.load_verify_locations(self.client_cert)
self.sock = None
and a couple of small changes to remove the certificate related functionality, everything seemed to work, the client could send messages to the server and the server could respond (and the client displayed the response).
When however I added the context related certificates I start getting the error:
An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket
The server waits at:
Client, addr = self.sock.accept()
and continues to run once the client has called (in the client.py file):
self._ssock.connect((HOST, PORT))
The server then reaches the lines:
def threaded_client(self, conn: socket):
conn.send(str.encode('Welcome to the Server'))
where it fails on this error.
Printing the terminal, a traceback and exception error results in:
Socket successfully created
Waiting for a Connection..
Connected to: 127.0.0.1:57434
Thread Number: 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\testcode\Server.py", line 71, in threaded_client
conn.send(str.encode('Welcome to the Server'))
OSError: [WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket
My knowledge is limited and I cannot find more examples of secure multi threaded two way communication client to server socket code. The idea is to ensure the client is authorized to communicate with the server before transmission happens.
Any ideas on where I am failing?
Thanks

Ok, It seems like I was close, but had a couple of tweaks to do.
The solution of:
SSL/TLS client certificate verification with Python v3.4+ SSLContext
and the commenters here, helped me get over the finish line.

Also ensure (as per the link) that the certificate creation is correct.
There is also another useful link at:
Exploring HTTPS With Python
Which covers HTTPS, specifically the Wireshark section allows you to monitor the traffic from client to server. After completing the above and deploying Wireshark I see that the data is encrypted. Any editing of the certificates (manually) causes the app to fail.
There still needs to be additions of try and except if the communication is halted midway etc. But hoping it will smooth the journey for others.
Thanks to the commenters, helped lead me on the way to solution.

Socket Freezes recv

everyone.
I send data to the server, it eats them, and then I start waiting for a response from the server by the client, and at this moment both the server and the client hang, but if you send data to the server without waiting for a response from it, it will calmly perform the function without freezes.
Who knows what the problem is?

My python proxy server keeps giving me "The connection was reset"

I have been writing a transparent proxy server in python to log where the request is going. Most pages load e.g. google.co.uk, however, pages such as google.com get stuck loading and some pages such as a local IP get the "Connection reset" error in the browser.

Thread a server to accept more than one client doesn't work properly

Well, I'm trying to make a simple Network TCP chatting program to dive deeper in python, threading and networking.
