Answer 1

As the answer suggests, I create another thread to handle input stream and it works. Here's the modified code:

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

def send_msg(sock):
    while True:
        data = sys.stdin.readline()
        sock.sendto(data, target)

def recv_msg(sock):
    while True:
        data, addr = sock.recvfrom(1024)
        sys.stdout.write(data)

Thread(target=send_msg, args=(sock_send,)).start()  
Thread(target=recv_msg, args=(sockfd,)).start()
