<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578591 by <a href="/recipes/users/4187115/">teddy_k</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/chat/">chat</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/peer/">peer</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/select/">select</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/socket/">socket</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/threading/">threading</a>). </p> <p>This took me longer than it should have. I am putting it here in the hopes that this post will spare others from having to Google things for extended periods of time.</p> <p>In short, you either listen for a connection (Chat_Server), or connect to a remote IP address (Chat_Client). From there, you can send text strings back and forth. </p> <p>This is a bit rough-hewn, obviously; I apologize in advance.</p>
