Unused argument in tcp_deadlock.py

[wefer]

On line 8 def server(host, port, bytecount): the server takes a bytecount argument that appears not be used inside the procedure.

Have you tried removing the argument and running the server? :)

[wefer]

I see what the problem is :)

Maybe def server(host, port, *args): is better then? Since it might make it more clear that the server is unaware/indifferent of how many bytes it will receive from the client.

I have made the problem go away entirely by simply calling the server and client with different arguments in the first place. I'm not sure what that didn't occur to me when you first brought up the issue! But thanks for pointing it out, and hopefully this small readability win will help a few readers from being more confused than they need to be. Thanks!

Thanks for a great book!
