Twisted has it's fan, but you don't "need" it. Your code had a few specific problems, and fixing them has little or nothing to do with Twisted. > By the time I've finished my project there are like 5 3rd party add-ons > to be installed. > I know I'm a python newbie... but I'm far from a developer newbie and > that can be a recipe for > disaster.

Obviously you wanted to recv() on your 'clientsocket' not your 'seversocket'. You can use sendall() to send all the given data; it will raise an exception if it fails so there's no return code to check. Since TCP is a stream protocol and does not have any concept of message boundaries, you'll need to delimit messages within your protocol, and call recv() until you have an entire message. -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
