Have Bluetooth socket reconnect (in Python) after BT switched off and on again

Question

I connect a bluetooth device in a python (3.10) program like this:

import socket
serverMACAddress = '00:07:80:e0:a4:fc'
port = 1
size = 1024
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.BTPROTO_RFCOMM)
s.connect((serverMACAddress,port))

In the main loop I have this:

try:
    while 1: #main loop
        data = s.recv(size)
        if data:
            data_received( data )
        else:
            try:
                s.???? 
            except: 
                print("no data") 
except: 
    print("Closing socket")
    s.close()

Everything works fine unless the bluetooth device is switched off and then switched on again. I am trying to solve how to have the bluetooth device re-connect with the logic in the try-statement (s.????) within the loop, but I am unable to come up with a solution.

I am a beginner in BT and Python, but this should be pretty straightforward, right? I must be missing something very obvious. Any suggestions out there?

Modified version based on the suggestion by ukBaz:

try:
    while 1: #main loop
        try:
            data = s.recv(size)
        except socket.error():
            connected = False
            s = socket.socket
            while not connected:
                #attempt to re-connect
                try:
                    s.connect((serverMACAddress,port))
                    connected = True
                except:
                    time.sleep(5)
        if data:
            data_received( data )
except: 
    print("Closing socket")
    s.close()

After adding clientSocket.send:

while True: #main loop
    # attempt to reconnect, otherwise sleep for 2 seconds
    if not connected:
        try:
            # configure socket and connect to server
            clientSocket = socket.socket(
                socket.AF_BLUETOOTH, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.BTPROTO_RFCOMM
            )

            clientSocket.connect((serverMACAddress, port))
            connected = True
            print("Connection successful")
        except socket.error:
            print("No connection, retrying")
#            time.sleep(2)
    # attempt to send and receive, otherwise reset connection status
    else:
        data = clientSocket.recv(size)
        if data:
            data_received( data )
        # Use send to check if scale is connected
        try:
            clientSocket.send(b"x")
        except socket.error:
            print("connection lost... reconnecting")
            # set connection status
            connected = False

Answer 1

Problem with response which was an array rather that a string.
