UDP Client/Server

[Martin Marcher]

Hello,

I created a really simple udp server and protocol but I only get every 2nd
request (and thus answer just every second request).

Maybe someone could shed some light, I'm lost in the dark(tm), sorry if this
is a bit oververbose but to me everything that happens here is black magic,
and I have no clue where the packages go. I can't think of a simpler
protocol than to just receive a fixed max UDP packet size and answer
immediately (read an "echo" server).

thanks
martin


### server
>>> from socket import *
>>> import SocketServer
>>> from SocketServer import BaseRequestHandler, UDPServer
>>> class FooReceiveServer(SocketServer.UDPServer):
...     def __init__(self):
...             SocketServer.UDPServer.__init__(self, ("localhost", 4321),
FooRequestHandler)
...
>>> class FooRequestHandler(BaseRequestHandler):
...     def handle(self):
...             data, addr_info = self.request[1].recvfrom(65534)
...             print data
...             print addr_info
...             self.request[1].sendto("response", addr_info)
...
>>> f = FooReceiveServer()
>>> f.serve_forever()
request 0
('127.0.0.1', 32884)
request 1
('127.0.0.1', 32884)
request 2
