UDP Client/Server Socket in Python

Question

I\'m new to python and sockets and am trying to write an echoing client/server socket. I have written the server so that 30% of the packets are lost. I programmed my client

Answer 1

Here is an alternative with asyncio.

import asyncio
import random

class EchoServerProtocol:
    def connection_made(self, transport):
        self.transport = transport

    def datagram_received(self, data, addr):
        message = data.decode()
        print('Received %r from %s' % (message, addr))
        rand = random.randint(0, 10)
        if rand >= 4:
            print('Send %r to %s' % (message, addr))
            self.transport.sendto(data, addr)
        else:
            print('Send %r to %s' % (message, addr))
            self.transport.sendto(data, addr)


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
print("Starting UDP server")

# One protocol instance will be created to serve all client requests
listen = loop.create_datagram_endpoint(
    EchoServerProtocol, local_addr=('127.0.0.1', 12000))
transport, protocol = loop.run_until_complete(listen)

try:
    loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

transport.close()
loop.close()
