Since this answer still gets voted up, I want to point out that you should almost never need to look in the header files. If you want to write reliable code, you’re much better served by looking in the standard. So, the answer to “where can I find the complete definition of off_t” is “in a … Read more
Python 3: Python 2: Documentation for urllib.request and read.
I think somethin wrong in this section: Instead try:
This won’t work always (returns 127.0.0.1 on machines having the hostname in /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1), a paliative would be what gimel shows, use socket.getfqdn() instead. Of course your machine needs a resolvable hostname.
This is a very VERY simple design for how you could solve it. First of all, you need to either accept the client (server side) before going into your while 1 loop because in every loop you accept a new client, or you do as i describe, you toss the client into a separate thread … Read more
Beside your code fragment, the warning Trying to send command for object without authority. Means that: you are sending command from an object whose authority, your (player) don’t have.

It’s kinda like: SYN starts a connection; you’ll usually only see it when the connection’s being established. But all data being sent via TCP requires an ACK. Every byte sent must be accounted for, or it will be retransmitted (or the connection reset (closed), in severe cases). Actual connections aren’t usually exactly like the diagram above, though, … Read more
