IF YOU WANT SEPARATE MESSAGES:
Modify the client to send an end of record, then:
On Server:


datasep = '<EOR>'           # or whatever you like
datal = []
seversocket.settimeout(5.0) # or 0(infinite) or something reasonable
while 1:
     try:
         data = serversocket.recv(BUFFERSIZE) # fails on timeout
         if not data: break
         datal.append(data)
     except: break

msglist = datal.split(datasep)   # a list of messages
