UDP packets to PC behind NAT

[Janto Dreijer]

Awesome! I haven't tested it on the actual server but I think it works.
Thanks!
I prefer a TCP connection solution and will post one if it works.

server.py
========
from socket import *
print "listening"
UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
UDPSock.bind(("localhost", 1234)) # visibility to outside world
payload, addr = UDPSock.recvfrom(1024)
print "message from %s: %s" % (`addr`, payload)
UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) # open UDP socket
result = UDPSock.sendto("your public address is %s" % `addr`, addr)

client.py
=====
from socket import *
UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) # open UDP socket
result = UDPSock.sendto("what's my public address?", ("localhost",
1234))
payload, addr = UDPSock.recvfrom(1024)
print payload

results:
====
listening
message from ('127.0.0.1', 32787): what's my public address?

your public address is ('127.0.0.1', 32787)
