My code is below and I just can't seem to figure out how to send messages to my clients at once
Even when I try asking for help or anything like that they say Store each client and idk how to do that. also I did try it and look it up I did it but I want it to update instantly like discord
import socket
import threading
HEADER = 64
PORT = 5050
SERVER = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
ADDR = (SERVER, PORT)
FORMAT = 'utf-8'
DISCONNECT_MESSAGE = "!stop"
NAME_MESSAGE = "!name"
server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(ADDR)
def handle_client(client, addr):
print(f'[INFO] {addr} connected.')
while True:
msg_length = client.recv(HEADER).decode(FORMAT)
if not msg_length:
msg_length = int(msg_length)
msg = client.recv(msg_length).decode(FORMAT)
if msg == DISCONNECT_MESSAGE:
print(f'[DISCONNECT] {addr} Disconnected')
break
elif msg == NAME_MESSAGE:
name_length = client.recv(HEADER).decode(FORMAT)
if name_length:
name_length = int(name_length)
name = client.recv(name_length).decode(FORMAT)
addr = name
else:
<Idk what to put here>
else:
break
def start():
server.listen()
print(f'[INFO] Server is listening on {SERVER}')
while True:
conn, addr = server.accept()
thread = threading.Thread(target=handle_client, args=(conn, addr))
thread.start()
print(f'\n[INFO] Active connections: {threading.activeCount() - 1}')
print('[INFO] Server is starting...')
start()
