Hi John, Here is a link that you might find useful: *http://compnetworking.about.com/od/basicnetworkingconcepts/*
--- Listed below are two very basic Python IM programs. You'll need to run the server first -- let it run in the background. Once this is running, start the second program, which allows you to type in a message and then the server program will acknowledge the reception of the data and then send a message back to you. --- # PYTHON SERVER import socket # Create connection. mySocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) mySocket.bind(('', 2727)) while True: # Get data coming in from client. data, client = mySocket.recvfrom(100) print 'We have received a datagram from', client, '.' print data # Send a response to confirm reception! mySocket.sendto ( 'Message confirmed: ' + data, client ) --- # Client program from socket import * # Set the socket parameters host = "127.0.0.1" port = 2727 buf = 1024 addr = (host,port) # Create socket UDPSock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM) def_msg = "===Enter message to send to server==="; print "\n", def_msg # Send messages while (1): data = raw_input('>> ') if not data: break else: if(UDPSock.sendto(data,addr)): print "Sending message '",data,"'....." # Receive the response back from the server. data, client = UDPSock.recvfrom(100) print data # Close socket UDPSock.close() --- Hope this helps, Byron ------------------------------------------------------------------- John Walton wrote: >Hello.
