I've always done this kind of thing with the SocketServer module
and the threading mixin. You'd say something like:
from SocketServer import SocketServer, ThreadingMixin
class Battleship_server(ThreadingMixin, SocketServer):
def handle(self, request):
# this method gets called in a new thread when a new connection
# arrives. Just handle the whole game for that connection here.
You do need some synchronization to avoid concurrency hazards when
the different threads touch shared data (like a global scoreboard)
but it's not as bad as it sounds.
