socket.rcv timeout while-loop

[Dwayne Blind]

Thanks to all of you.

@ Jean-Michel Pichavant
I am writing a small multiplayer game. Several clients are connected to the
server. Games last, say, 20 seconds.
You can think of the game as a small chat lasting 20 seconds. All the data
received by the server is sent back to the clients.

@ Stephen Hansen
Each player can send as many words as he wants. I think this is why I need
the loop. Don't you think so ?

@ Dave Angel
s = conn, with conn,address=socket.accept()
(see Socket Objects)

Thanks again
