Daniel,
You really should use an existing framework to help
you write your application here. You're using the
plain old (standard-library) sockets module.
I would suggest you use either Twisted, or pymills.
Twisted is more feature-rich, and a general purpose
event-driven framework. It can be a little overwhelming
to use.
pymills is my event-driven, component architecture
library that allows you to build event-driven systems
very easily with a component design.
You can download pymills from here:
http://hg.shortcircuit.net.au/index.wsgi/pymills/archive/tip.tar.gz
Or you can get the latest developmen branch by using
Mercurial and cloning it:
hg clone http://hg.shortcircuit.net.au/index.wsgi/pymills/
Here is a simple EchoServer that you could modify
to suit your application needs:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pymills import event
from pymills.event import *
from pymills.net.sockets import TCPServer
class Echo(TCPServer):
@listener("read")
def onREAD(self, sock, data):
self.write(sock, data)
def main():
echo = Echo(8000)
event.manager += echo
while True:
try:
manager.flush()
echo.poll()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
break
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
</code>
cheers
James
