Use threading instead here:https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_multithreading.htm

Anyone tried handling multiple connections binding multiple ports?

Any help would be appreciated.

It’s been a while, but if someone encounters this in the future – you can either import _thread or import threading module and then replace the last while loop with something like this:

…
while True:
# wait to accept a connection – blocking call
conn, addr = s.accept()
# display client info
print(“Connected with {}:{}”.format(addr[0], addr[1]))

t = threading.Thread(target=client_thread, args=(conn,))
threads_list.append(t)
t.start()

for t in threads_list:
t.join()

s.close()

he said ‘except socket.error, msg:’ because he was using python2
python3 is ‘except socket.error as msg:’

You can use _thread.start_new_thread in Python 3.6 =)
and also, if you want do like object from string, you can use u’some_text’

And if the same with data that it is a string and it needs a byte like object in reply then use
reply = ‘OK’ + data.decode(‘utf-8’)

Because code is using this statement –
from thread import *
it’s fetching all available methods of thread class into current script.

Therefore you don’t need to write –
thread.start_new_thread()

I hope it clears the confusion.

Anyone please? Same doubt.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You’re running an ad hoc network. Forget that… make one the client and one the server

Learnt… Help us all.

This is now all fixed. However this week all my Pis stopped connecting to each other and wouldn’t assign my PC an address from the subnet – I hadn’t touched them in this time, just started them up and nothing. I have reconfigured it all now though. Strange but any ideas what could’ve caused this?

What do I have to do to make the code work between two computers?

Same for me. This tutorial did a better job then by Prof. This is a great start.
Thanks.
