Documentation

Currently, the best form of documentation is available by examining the docstrings of desired functions. However, there is documentation on ReadTheDocs, though it does not contain a lot of information. There will also soon be functioning examples, to show the main features of hisock.

Examples

hisock utilizes decorators as the core of receiving messages. Examples are located in the examples directory. Here is what a basic server script would look like using hisock:

Server

import sys
import time
import random

from hisock import start_server, get_local_ip, iptup_to_str

ADDR = get_local_ip()
PORT = 6969

if len(sys.argv) == 2:
    ADDR = sys.argv[1]
if len(sys.argv) == 3:
    PORT = int(sys.argv[2])

print(f"Serving at {ADDR}")
server = start_server((ADDR, PORT))

@server.on("join")
def client_join(client_data):
    print(f"Cool, {':'.join(map(str, client_data['ip']))} joined!")
    if client_data['name'] is not None:
        print(f"    - With a sick name \"{client_data['name']}\", very cool!")
    if client_data['group'] is not None:
        print(f"    - In a sick group \"{client_data['group']}\", cool!")

    print("I'm gonna send them a quick hello message")

    server.send_client(client_data['ip'], "hello_message", str(time.time()).encode())

@server.on("processing1")
def process(client, process_request: str):
    print(f"\nAlright, looks like {iptup_to_str(client['ip'])} received the hello message, "
          "\nas now they're trying to compute something on the server, because they have "
          "potato computers")
    print("Their processing request is:", process_request)

    for _ in range(process_request.count("randnum")):
        randnum = str(random.randint(1, 100000000))
        process_request = process_request.replace("randnum", randnum, 1)

    result = eval(process_request)  # Insecure, but I'm lazy, so...
    print(f"Cool! The result is {result}! I'mma send it to the client")

    server.send_client_raw(client['ip'], str(result).encode())


while True:
    server.run()

Client

import time

from hisock import connect, get_local_ip

server_to_connect = input("Enter server IP to connect to (Press enter for default of your local IP): ")
port = input("Enter Server port number (Press enter for default of 6969): ")

if server_to_connect == '':
    server_to_connect = get_local_ip()

if port == '':
    port = 6969
else:
    port = int(port)

name = input("Name? (Press enter for no name) ")
group = input("Group? (Press enter for no group) ")

print("======================================= ESTABLISHING CONNECTION =======================================")

if name == '':
    name = None
if group == '':
    group = None

join_time = time.time()

s = connect(
    (server_to_connect, port),
    name=name, group=group
)


@s.on("hello_message")
def handle_hello(msg):
    print("Thanks, server, for sending a hello, just for me!")
    print(f"Looks like, the message was sent on timestamp {msg.decode()}, "
          f"which is just {round(float(msg.decode()) - join_time, 6) * 1000} milliseconds since the connection!")
    print("In response, I'm going to send the server a request to do some processing")

    s.send("processing1", b"randnum**2")
    result = int(s.recv_raw())

    print(f"WHOAAA! The result is {result}! Thanks server!")

while True:
    s.update()
