<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 531824 by <a href="/recipes/users/760763/">Anand</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/network/">network</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>This recipe demos how to write a simple command line chat server &amp; client using multiplexing using select.select. The server uses select call to multiplex multiple clients and the client uses it to multiplex command line &amp; socket I/O.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 189858 by <a href="/recipes/users/760763/">Anand</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). Revision 8. </p> <p>Python port of a very popular implementation of text2pdf in the C programming language. I ported this to python because it could be used as a script instead of executable which is the case with the original program. Most of the options remain the same.</p>

Revision 5. </p> <p>This recipe provides a quick and easy way to process Java properties files using pure Python. Of course, Jython can always be used, but in situations where Jython cannot be used, this recipe provides a sure-fire drop-in replacement. The Properties class is modelled to duplicate the behaviour of the original as closely as possible.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>This recipe presents a way of serializing &amp; de-serializing XML using the marshal module. The XML is converted to an equivalent Python dictionary first, which is marshaled to serialize it. De-serialization first unmarshals the dictionary from the file, and constructs the original XML.</p>
