how can we use both tcpSerSock.listen(0) and tcpSerSock.send(str.encode(message)) at the same time

my raspberry pi is the server and Im trying to send continuous message from rpi to android while recieving a command from client (android app),i really dont know if this is possible and how to do it is out of my reach and it is not a feedback message here is my code hope you will help me thank you.
import apptopi
from socket import *
from time import ctime
from nanpy import (ArduinoApi, SerialManager)
apptopi.setup()
connection = SerialManager()
a = ArduinoApi(connection = connection)
ctrCmd = ['Up','Down','Left','Right','Stop','Connect']
add = 0
add += 1
a = str(add) //**this is a sample that i want to send continously
HOST = ''
PORT = 21567
BUFSIZE = 1024
ADDR = (HOST,PORT)
tcpSerSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
tcpSerSock.bind(ADDR)
tcpSerSock.listen(0)
tcpSerSock.send(str.encode(a)) <== i really don't know how to send
continuously
while True:
print 'Waiting for connection'
tcpCliSock,addr = tcpSerSock.accept()
print '...connected from :', addr
try:
while True:
data = ''
data = tcpCliSock.recv(BUFSIZE)
if not data:
break
if data == ctrCmd[0]:
apptopi.forw()
print 'forward'
if data == ctrCmd[1]:
apptopi.back()
print 'backward'
if data == ctrCmd[2]:
apptopi.left()
print 'leftturn'
if data == ctrCmd[3]:
apptopi.right()
print 'rightturn'
if data == ctrCmd[4]:
apptopi.stp()
print 'stop'
except KeyboardInterrupt:
apptopi.close()
GPIO.cleanup()
tcpSerSock.close();

OK one approach is to use the select() function for this. There is information in the documentation about its operation.
As an example I've made a modified version of your program (see below). I don't have a raspberry pi, so that part of the code is commented out, but you can replace it as needed.
The example uses the timeout feature of select() to send "continuous" messages to clients whilst also monitoring them for incoming messages. You can adjust the message contents and timeout to whatever works for you. NB you may also need to respond to client messages, as this code only sends data to clients after a timeout. Make whatever changes you need.
import sys
import socket
import select
ctrCmd = ['Up','Down','Left','Right','Stop','Connect']
HOST = ''
PORT = 21567
BUFSIZE = 1024
ADDR = (HOST,PORT)
tcpSerSock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
tcpSerSock.bind(ADDR)
tcpSerSock.listen(1)
print 'Waiting for connection'
sendInterval = 1.0 # interval(sec) for sending messages to connected clients
rxset = [tcpSerSock]
txset = []
while 1:
rxfds, txfds, exfds = select.select(rxset, txset, rxset, sendInterval)
if rxfds:
for sock in rxfds:
if sock is tcpSerSock:
# a client is connecting
tcpCliSock, addr = tcpSerSock.accept()
tcpCliSock.setblocking(0)
rxset.append(tcpCliSock)
print '...connected from :', addr
else:
# a client socket has data or has closed the connection
try:
data = sock.recv(BUFSIZE)
if not data:
print "...connection closed by remote end"
rxset.remove(sock)
sock.close()
else:
if data == ctrCmd[0]:
#apptopi.forw()
print 'forward'
if data == ctrCmd[1]:
#apptopi.back()
print 'backward'
if data == ctrCmd[2]:
#apptopi.left()
print 'leftturn'
if data == ctrCmd[3]:
#apptopi.right()
print 'rightturn'
if data == ctrCmd[4]:
#apptopi.stp()
print 'stop'
except:
print "...connection closed by remote end"
rxset.remove(sock)
sock.close()
else:
# timeout - send data to any active client
for sock in rxset:
if sock is not tcpSerSock:
sock.send("Hello!\n")
The simple client program I used to test this is here:
import sys
import socket
import time
ctrCmd = ['Up','Down','Left','Right','Stop','Connect']
HOST = '127.0.0.1'
PORT = 21567
BUFSIZE = 1024
ADDR = (HOST,PORT)
tcpCliSock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
tcpCliSock.connect(ADDR)
time.sleep(1)
for i in range(len(ctrCmd)):
tcpCliSock.send(ctrCmd[i])
time.sleep(1)
data = tcpCliSock.recv(BUFSIZE)
print data
tcpCliSock.close()
Hope this helps, best of luck.

Creating a simple Chat application in Python (Sockets)

I'm trying to create a simple chat application using sockets (python). Where a client can send a message to server and server simply broadcast the message to all other clients except the one who has sent it.
Client has two threads, which are running forever
send: Send simply sends the cleints message to server.
receive: Receive the message from the server.
Server also has two threads, which are running forever
accept_cleint: To accept the incoming connection from the client.
broadcast_usr: Accepts the message from the client and just broadcast it to all other clients.
But I'm getting erroneous output (Please refer the below image). All threads suppose to be active all the times but Some times client can send message sometimes it can not. Say for example Tracey sends 'hi' 4 times but its not broadcasted, When John says 'bye' 2 times then 1 time its message gets braodcasted. It seems like there is some thread synchronization problem at sever, I'm not sure. Please tell me what's wrong.
Below is the code.
chat_client.py
import socket, threading
def send():
while True:
msg = raw_input('\nMe > ')
cli_sock.send(msg)
def receive():
while True:
sen_name = cli_sock.recv(1024)
data = cli_sock.recv(1024)
print('\n' + str(sen_name) + ' > ' + str(data))
if __name__ == "__main__":
# socket
cli_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# connect
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 5023
cli_sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
print('Connected to remote host...')
uname = raw_input('Enter your name to enter the chat > ')
cli_sock.send(uname)
thread_send = threading.Thread(target = send)
thread_send.start()
thread_receive = threading.Thread(target = receive)
thread_receive.start()
chat_server.py
import socket, threading
def accept_client():
while True:
#accept
cli_sock, cli_add = ser_sock.accept()
uname = cli_sock.recv(1024)
CONNECTION_LIST.append((uname, cli_sock))
print('%s is now connected' %uname)
def broadcast_usr():
while True:
for i in range(len(CONNECTION_LIST)):
try:
data = CONNECTION_LIST[i][1].recv(1024)
if data:
b_usr(CONNECTION_LIST[i][1], CONNECTION_LIST[i][0], data)
except Exception as x:
print(x.message)
break
def b_usr(cs_sock, sen_name, msg):
for i in range(len(CONNECTION_LIST)):
if (CONNECTION_LIST[i][1] != cs_sock):
CONNECTION_LIST[i][1].send(sen_name)
CONNECTION_LIST[i][1].send(msg)
if __name__ == "__main__":
CONNECTION_LIST = []
# socket
ser_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# bind
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 5023
ser_sock.bind((HOST, PORT))
# listen
ser_sock.listen(1)
print('Chat server started on port : ' + str(PORT))
thread_ac = threading.Thread(target = accept_client)
thread_ac.start()
thread_bs = threading.Thread(target = broadcast_usr)
thread_bs.start()

Ok I lied in my comment earlier, sorry. The issue is actually in the broadcast_usr() function on the server. It is blocking in the recv() method and preventing all but the currently selected user from talking at a single time as it progresses through the for loop. To fix this, I changed the server.py program to spawn a new broadcast_usr thread for each client connection that it accepts. I hope this helps.
import socket, threading
def accept_client():
while True:
#accept
cli_sock, cli_add = ser_sock.accept()
uname = cli_sock.recv(1024)
CONNECTION_LIST.append((uname, cli_sock))
print('%s is now connected' %uname)
thread_client = threading.Thread(target = broadcast_usr, args=[uname, cli_sock])
thread_client.start()
def broadcast_usr(uname, cli_sock):
while True:
try:
data = cli_sock.recv(1024)
if data:
print "{0} spoke".format(uname)
b_usr(cli_sock, uname, data)
except Exception as x:
print(x.message)
break
def b_usr(cs_sock, sen_name, msg):
for client in CONNECTION_LIST:
if client[1] != cs_sock:
client[1].send(sen_name)
client[1].send(msg)
if __name__ == "__main__":
CONNECTION_LIST = []
# socket
ser_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# bind
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 5023
ser_sock.bind((HOST, PORT))
# listen
ser_sock.listen(1)
print('Chat server started on port : ' + str(PORT))
thread_ac = threading.Thread(target = accept_client)
thread_ac.start()
#thread_bs = threading.Thread(target = broadcast_usr)
#thread_bs.start()

I tried to get around the bug you said #Atinesh. The client will be asked a username once and this 'uname' will be included in the data to be sent. See what I did to the 'send' function.
For easier visualization, I added a '\t' to all received messages.
import socket, threading
def send(uname):
while True:
msg = raw_input('\nMe > ')
data = uname + '>' + msg
cli_sock.send(data)
def receive():
while True:
data = cli_sock.recv(1024)
print('\t'+ str(data))
if __name__ == "__main__":
# socket
cli_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# connect
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 5023
uname = raw_input('Enter your name to enter the chat > ')
cli_sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
print('Connected to remote host...')
thread_send = threading.Thread(target = send,args=[uname])
thread_send.start()
thread_receive = threading.Thread(target = receive)
thread_receive.start()
You also have to modify your server code accordingly.
server.py
import socket, threading
def accept_client():
while True:
#accept
cli_sock, cli_add = ser_sock.accept()
CONNECTION_LIST.append(cli_sock)
thread_client = threading.Thread(target = broadcast_usr, args=[cli_sock])
thread_client.start()
def broadcast_usr(cli_sock):
while True:
try:
data = cli_sock.recv(1024)
if data:
b_usr(cli_sock, data)
except Exception as x:
print(x.message)
break
def b_usr(cs_sock, msg):
for client in CONNECTION_LIST:
if client != cs_sock:
client.send(msg)
if __name__ == "__main__":
CONNECTION_LIST = []
# socket
ser_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# bind
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 5023
ser_sock.bind((HOST, PORT))
# listen
ser_sock.listen(1)
print('Chat server started on port : ' + str(PORT))
thread_ac = threading.Thread(target = accept_client)
thread_ac.start()
The things that changed in the server side are: the user who connected and the user who spoke is not seen anymore. I don't know if it would mean that much if your purpose is to connect clients. Maybe if you want to strictly monitor clients via the server, there could be another way.

Connection reset by peer [errno 104] in Python 2.7

I've seen and read a lot about this particular issue on the internet.
I am writing a simple chat server and client using socket in python for learning purpose mainly.
I've observed an issue here.
Here is my server code :
__author__ = 'pchakraverti'
import socket
import select
import sys
class NickSocketMap(object):
count = 0
def __init__(self, nick, client_socket):
self.nick = nick
self.client_socket = client_socket
NickSocketMap.count += 1
#staticmethod
def display_count():
print "Total number of clients is %d" % NickSocketMap.count
host = ""
port = 7575
socket_list = []
nick_list = []
cnt = 0
recv_buffer = 1024
def register_nick(nick, client_socket):
obj = NickSocketMap(nick, client_socket)
nick_list.append(obj)
def process_request(request_string, client_socket):
parts = request_string.split("|")
if parts[0] == "set_nick":
register_nick(parts[1], client_socket)
client_socket.send("nick_set")
elif parts[0] == "transmit_msg":
broadcast_message(parts[1], parts[2])
return 1
def broadcast_message(message, client_nick):
for s in nick_list:
if s.nick == client_nick:
try:
s.client_socket.send(message)
except socket.errno, ex:
print ex
break
def run_server():
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
sock.bind((host, port))
except socket.errno, ex:
print ex
sys.exit(-1)
sock.listen(10)
# add the parent socket in the list
socket_list.append(sock)
# keep the server alive
while True:
try:
read_ready, write_ready, in_error = select.select(socket_list, [], [], 0)
except select.error, ex:
print ex
continue
for s in read_ready:
# check if s is the parent socket
if s == sock:
# accept new connection and append to list
try:
con, addr = s.accept()
if con not in socket_list:
socket_list.append(con)
except socket.errno, ex:
print ex
else:
try:
# receive packet from connected client
packet = s.recv(recv_buffer)
if not packet:
socket_list.remove(s)
read_ready.remove(s)
for n in nick_list:
if n.client_socket == s:
nick_list.remove(n)
break
break
print packet
except socket.errno, ex:
print ex
continue
process_request(packet, s)
sock.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
run_server()
and here is my client code:
__author__ = 'pchakraverti'
import socket
nick = ""
host = "192.168.0.167"
port = 7575
sock = ""
def welcome():
print "Welecome to SecuChat!"
print "---------------------"
def init():
nick = raw_input("Enter your chat nickname : ")
print nick
global sock
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
sock.connect((host, port))
except socket.errno, ex:
print ex
sock.send("set_nick|"+nick)
#sock.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
welcome()
init()
In the client code, when I don't do the sock.close(), the server runs into an exception :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "server.py", line 102, in <module>
run_server()
File "server.py", line 84, in run_server
packet = s.recv(recv_buffer)
socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
how ever, when I add that line, the problem doesn't occur.
Now I've two questions :
i) I've handled exceptions in the server.py, why is this exception not being handled and why is it crashing the code ? How can I make the server more robust and what am I missing ?
ii) What is the logic behind this crash and exception in relation to the sock.close() line in the client ?

i) Your try-except block doesn't catch any exceptions.
The first argument to except must be the type of the exception you want to catch. socket.errno is not an exception class but a module. You need to catch socket.error:
except socket.error, ex:
print ex
It "crashes" your code because any exception that isn't handled somewhere in the call stack propagates outwards until it hits an except. If there is no handler the program is terminated.
ii) When the client terminates without closing the connection, a RST packet is sent by the TCP/IP stack of your OS. This is roughly the equivalent of hanging up a phone without saying goodbye. Python converts this into an exception with the text "Connection reset by peer". It simply means that since you called read() Python assumed you expect to receive something and when the connection suddenly disconnected, Python informs you of this by raising the exception.

Making a Fast Port Scanner

So I'm making a port scanner in python...
import socket
ip = "External IP"
s = socket.socket(2, 1) #socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM
def porttry(ip, port):
try:
s.connect((ip, port))
return True
except:
return None
for port in range(0, 10000):
value = porttry(ip, port)
if value == None:
print("Port not opened on %d" % port)
else:
print("Port opened on %d" % port)
break
raw_input()
But this is too slow, I want to somehow be able to some how close or break code after a period of time of not returning anything.

In addition to setting socket timeout, you can also apply multi-threading technique to turbo boost the process. It will be, at best, N times faster when you have N ports to scan.
# This script runs on Python 3
import socket, threading
def TCP_connect(ip, port_number, delay, output):
TCPsock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
TCPsock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
TCPsock.settimeout(delay)
try:
TCPsock.connect((ip, port_number))
output[port_number] = 'Listening'
except:
output[port_number] = ''
def scan_ports(host_ip, delay):
threads = [] # To run TCP_connect concurrently
output = {} # For printing purposes
# Spawning threads to scan ports
for i in range(10000):
t = threading.Thread(target=TCP_connect, args=(host_ip, i, delay, output))
threads.append(t)
# Starting threads
for i in range(10000):
threads[i].start()
# Locking the main thread until all threads complete
for i in range(10000):
threads[i].join()
# Printing listening ports from small to large
for i in range(10000):
if output[i] == 'Listening':
print(str(i) + ': ' + output[i])
def main():
host_ip = input("Enter host IP: ")
delay = int(input("How many seconds the socket is going to wait until timeout: "))
scan_ports(host_ip, delay)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

here is a quick and simple port scanner, it scans 100000 ports in 180 sec:
import threading
import socket
target = 'pythonprogramming.net'
#ip = socket.gethostbyname(target)
def portscan(port):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.settimeout(0.5)#
try:
con = s.connect((target,port))
print('Port :',port,"is open.")
con.close()
except:
pass
r = 1
for x in range(1,100):
t = threading.Thread(target=portscan,kwargs={'port':r})
r += 1
t.start()

Consider setting a timeout instead of a for loop by using socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout).

This should be a bit faster.
#-*-coding:utf8;-*-
#qpy:3
#qpy:console
import socket
import os
# This is used to set a default timeout on socket
# objects.
DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 0.5
# This is used for checking if a call to socket.connect_ex
# was successful.
SUCCESS = 0
def check_port(*host_port, timeout=DEFAULT_TIMEOUT):
''' Try to connect to a specified host on a specified port.
If the connection takes longer then the TIMEOUT we set we assume
the host is down. If the connection is a success we can safely assume
the host is up and listing on port x. If the connection fails for any
other reason we assume the host is down and the port is closed.'''
# Create and configure the socket.
sock = socket.socket()
sock.settimeout(timeout)
# the SO_REUSEADDR flag tells the kernel to reuse a local
# socket in TIME_WAIT state, without waiting for its natural
# timeout to expire.
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
# Like connect(address), but return an error indicator instead
# of raising an exception for errors returned by the C-level connect() 
# call (other problems, such as “host not found,” can still raise exceptions).
# The error indicator is 0 if the operation succeeded, otherwise the value of
# the errnovariable. This is useful to support, for example, asynchronous connects.
connected = sock.connect_ex(host_port) is SUCCESS
# Mark the socket closed.
# The underlying system resource (e.g. a file descriptor)
# is also closed when all file objects from makefile() are closed.
# Once that happens, all future operations on the socket object will fail.
# The remote end will receive no more data (after queued data is flushed).
sock.close()
# return True if port is open or False if port is closed.
return connected
con = check_port('www.google.com', 83)
print(con)

One can use threading.Thread and threading.Condition to synchronize port check and spawning new threads.
Script example usage:
python port_scan.py google.com 70 90
Checking 70 - 80
Checking 80 - 84
Checking 84 - 90
Found active port 80

I think that this one snippet could help you : http://www.coderholic.com/python-port-scanner/

socket.setdefaulttimeout(0.5)
This will make the program faster!

socket.setdefualttimeout (time)
is used to keep trying to connect with port for perticular time...when you send request and there is timeout set for 2 seconds so it will try to connect with port for 2 seconds....if there will be no response from that port in 2 seconds....it will be count as a dead port

The following port scanner has a few constants defined at the top that you can modify as needed:
PURPOSE -- help message for the command line
PORTS -- range of ports you would like scanned
POOL_SIZE -- number of processes to scan with
TIMEOUT -- how long to wait for server connection
Feel free to adapt this according to your requirements. Maybe add some command line arguments?

I've just finished tinkering with Concurrent Futures on a port scanner and by God it's fast:

Receive more than one message on more than one port Echo Server python

I am writing a echo server and client in Python, that implements a simple number guessing game. I know how to multiplex using select, that's fine. The other server I wrote achieves this. But now I am writing a new server (which is fairly similar), however it accepts connections from two ports rather than one, one port for player client, and one for admin which I will use eventually for the who command, returning all connected players.
My problem is, that after sending the initial greetings message, the clients receive feedback from the server on the first send, recv. But after that I cannot send any more messages to server (nothing gets sent from the clients), I have been searching and playing around for hours, to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
