The standard library documentation, while lacking in some areas, is very much your friend here: >From http://docs.python.org/lib/socket-objects.html (emphasis mine) send(string[, flags]) Send data to the socket. The socket must be connected to a remote socket. The optional flags argument has the same meaning as for recv() above. *Returns the number of bytes sent.* recv(bufsize[, flags]) Receive data from the socket. The return value is a string representing the data received. For timing you can probably use the timeit module (http:// docs.python.org/lib/module-timeit.html) but I'm not really sure how you're defining "performance". I mean, I can already tell you that overall UDP will be "faster", as it has much less overhead. Surely your course has covered this... Hyuga -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
