Q: Is it possible for a thread on SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer to get the socket info of *other* open thread/s and use that info to send data to the accepting client?
A specific socket can be used from every thread of a process. Just make sure that you synchronize everything.
I need to create a client that can connect to server and then determine how many other clients are connected, what the socket info is
When you accept a socket client, a new socket is created, so you cannot determine how many clients are connected to a socket. You have to create a data structure where you insert info about accepted connections and delete the info when a connection is closed.
(ifile/ofile) and then send and receive specific data to those clients.
ifile/ofile are local to the server process so you cannot use them to send data from one client to another client. You have to send the data to the server first with a special tag, the server has to use that tag and send the data to the designated other client.
It sounds a bit as if you want to build some kind of chat server and now you want to add private channels.
