Simple UDP server

[James Mills]

Tzury,

You may consider using pymills
to simplify writing your UDP server
and just concentrating on the
behavior of the system.

You can get a copy of the
latest development branch
by cloning it with Mercurial:

hg clone http://hg.shortcircuit.net.au/pymills/

There is an example UDP Server
in examples/net/ but I'll paste
it here for your reference.

Note, as stated before, UDP is a connectionless
protocol (Datagram), concurrency doesn't apply.
Also note, technically UDP doesn't guarantee
reliability or the order of packets, however the
reality is, it doesn't give you any feedback. You
have to handle this yourself.

Have fun,

cheers
James
