A wrapper class for the python socket with automatic type deduction for both sending and receiving messages.
I was using python during work and had to use sockets. When I didn't find any adducate libraries I made my own.
The main goal of this project has been to hide the raw data from the user and to provide a very simple interface that will automatically send any kind of "simple" data.
##### Client
import SocketWrap
sock = SocketWrap.Socket()
sock.connect("192.168.4.1", 8080)
sock.send("Hello")
sock.send(5)
sock.send(("Tuple", True))
sock.recv() # You can communicate both ways.
# Numpy arrays are supported
import numpy as np
array = np.random.rand(3,2)
sock.send(array)
# Anything that can be pickled is suppored (Since Pickle can be quite slow, it is only used as a last resort).
class Test:
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.b = "Hello"
self.c = np.array([1,2,3])
sock.send(Test())
# Sending a file
with open("Myfile", "rb") as f:
sock.send(f)
##### Server
import SocketWrap
listener = SocketWrap.Socket()
listener.bind("192.168.4.1", 8080)
listener.listen(1)
client, address = listener.accept()
print(client.recv()) # Prints 'Hello'
print(client.recv()) # Prints '5'
print(client.recv()) # Prints '("Tuple", True)'
client.send("You can communicate both ways.")
# Numpy arrays are supported
numpyArray = client.recv()
testClass = client.recv()
client.recv("Myfile") # The path/name can be specified when receving files. If not specified the original name will be used and the file will be placed in the current working directory.More examples can be found in SocketWrap.py
