Don't use UDP, use TCP.  TCP connections are persistant, so you can send
information to all of your clients as necessary.

This will change your application, as it requires you to both read and
write from sockets.  Check out the asyncore module, or perhaps even
asynchat (which is 95% of a chat server already).
