New guy here. I'm trying to figure out sockets in order to one day do
a multiplayer game. Here's my problem: even the simplest examples
don't work on my computer:
A simple server:
from socket import *
myHost = ''
Try with myHost = '127.0.0.1' instead - a firewall might be blocking your
server.
s.listen(5) # allow 5 simultaneous connections
Not exactly: your server program only handles a single connection at a
time. The 5 above specifies how many connections may exist "on hold"
waiting for you to accept() them.
connection.send('echo -> ' + data)
That's fine for Python 2.6, but you must use b'echo -> ' with 3.0
And a simple client:
s.send('Hello world') # send the data
Same as above, should be b'Hello world' with Python 3.0
If I run testserver.py via the cmd prompt in Windows XP and then the
testclient.py program, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python30\testclient.py", line 12, in <module>
s.send('Hello world') # send the data
TypeError: send() argument 1 must be string or buffer, not str
The above error message is wrong (and I think it was corrected on the 3.0
final release; if you got it with 3.0 final, file a bug report at
http://bugs.python.org/ )
This happens in 2.6 or 3.0 and with different example client & server
programs from the web. What am I missing?
The error above surely comes from 3.0; with 2.6 you should get a different
error (if it fails at all). Try again with 2.6.1. I didn't run the code
but it looks fine -- if you got it from a book or article, unless it
explicitely says "Python 3.0", assume it was written for the 2.x series.
