Sending Commands via a network [Python]

[maboroshi]

I am trying to figure out why I can't interrupt my initial command over the network.

This does not work

server:

Code: Select all

def handlechild():
    print "Got connection from", clientsock.getpeername()
    while 1:
        data = clientsock.recv(4096)
        if data == "START":
            watchos(breakloop = "nobreak")
        elif data == "END":
            watchos(breakloop = "break")
        elif data == "LOG":
            logKeystrokes()
        elif data == "ENDLOG":
            logKeystrokes.UnHook()
        if not len(data):
            break
        clientsock.sendall(data)


    clientsock.close()

The part to break from the running server.

Code: Select all

results = change_handle
        for action, files in results:
            full_filename = os.path.join(path_to_watch, files)
            theact = ACTIONS.get(action, "Unknown")
            clientsock.send("\n" + str(full_filename) + str(theact) +"\n")
            if breakloop == "break":
                clientsock.send("\n" + "Exited File Watching Program" "\n")
                break
            else:
                continue

The client

Code: Select all

def connectit(port=8888):
    host = str(entry2.get())
    global s
    s.connect((host, port))
    while True:
        data = s.recv(8024)
        if not data:
            break
        listb.insert(END, str(data))
                 
def commands():
    comm = str(entry.get())
    if comm == "START":
        s.send("START")
    if comm == "END":
        s.send("END")
    if comm == "LOG":
        s.send("LOG")
    if comm == "ENDLOG":
        s.send("ENDLOG")

I can send the initial start command but when I try to run the END command it won't accept it any ideas i know my code is weak at the moment just pieced this together fast.

add "print data" in the server so you can see what it is you're recieving instead of "END".
