Here, you sent some bytes (maybe - you didn't check the return value of send, so it's possible nothing at all was sent) but you didn't send a new line indicator of any sort. > [snip] > print(buf.readLine()); Here, you tried you read a line from the socket. The peer never sent a whole line though, so readLine will never succeed. Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
