Challenge for newb pytnon coders

Take this simple port scanner, and make it better.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import socket
import sys

host = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else input("Host: ")

print(f"Scanning {host}...\n")

for port in range(1, 1025):
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    s.settimeout(0.2)

    if s.connect_ex((host, port)) == 0:
        try:
            service = socket.getservbyport(port)
        except:
            service = "unknown"
        print(f"{port:5d}/tcp  OPEN  ({service})")

    s.close()

print("\nDone.")

Note: If you build a longer version, paste your code into a pastebin or similar code-sharing page and leave the link in your reply. That keeps the thread readable while still letting everyone review the code.
