UDP Simple Client and Threaded Server written in Python

Client.py

import socket
import sys

HOST, PORT = "localhost", 8888
data = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)

sock.sendto(data + "\n", (HOST, PORT))
received = sock.recv(1024)

print("Sent:     {}".format(data))
print("Received: {}".format(received))

Server.py

import SocketServer, threading, time

class ThreadedUDPRequestHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):

    def handle(self):
        data = self.request[0].strip()
        socket = self.request[1]
        current_thread = threading.current_thread()
        print("{}: client: {}, wrote: {}".format(current_thread.name, self.client_address, data))
        socket.sendto(data.upper(), self.client_address)

class ThreadedUDPServer(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn, SocketServer.UDPServer):
    pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    HOST, PORT = "0.0.0.0", 8888

    server = ThreadedUDPServer((HOST, PORT), ThreadedUDPRequestHandler)

    server_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.serve_forever)
    server_thread.daemon = True

    try:
        server_thread.start()
        print("Server started at {} port {}".format(HOST, PORT))
        while True: time.sleep(100)
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
        server.shutdown()
        server.server_close()
        exit()

This is ass

uff...

In this time I was using gist as pastebin.

Gonna elaborate an example over an udp server and put here.

😅

Well, I remember I did find it helpful at the time. I was getting started on Python.

I don't understand why this guy say "this is ass". This is the first result on google when someone asks for python threaded udp server, maybe it's helpful to people.

Anyway...

You can find a better description on how to make a threaded UDP Server to handle a lot of requests at same time using python here:

Thank you!! =D
