So I am working on an iPhone app that requires a socket to handle multiple clients for online gaming. I have tried Twisted, and with much effort, I have failed to get a bunch of info to be sent at once, which is why I am now going to attempt socket.
My question is, using the code below, how would you be able to have multiple clients connected? I’ve tried lists, but I just can’t figure out the format for that. How can this be accomplished where multiple clients are connected at once and I am able to send a message to a specific client?
Thank you!
#!/usr/bin/python # This is server.py file import socket # Import socket module s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name port = 50000 # Reserve a port for your service. print 'Server started!' print 'Waiting for clients...' s.bind((host, port)) # Bind to the port s.listen(5) # Now wait for client connection. c, addr = s.accept() # Establish connection with client. print 'Got connection from', addr while True: msg = c.recv(1024) print addr, ' >> ', msg msg = raw_input('SERVER >> ') c.send(msg); #c.close() # Close the connection
