localsockets 0.0.0

A python package to help transfer data between programs.

This python package is designed to transfer binary data between Python scripts easily. This package uses a filesystem server to store data even when your program is closed and is not limited to RAM storage, but instead, your Hard Drive storage.

Basic Usage:

Script 1:

    import localsockets
    s = localsockets.socket()
    id = s.id
    # send s.id to the other script
    # wait until other script connects
    while not s.connected():
        pass
    # Now something has connected to our server. 
    s.send(b'hello') # send some data
    # servers can also receive data
    s.opend() # False
    s.connected() # False
    s.open() # reopen the server. Now you can reconnect. 

Script 2

    import localsockets
    id = # your received id
    s = localsockets.socket(id)
    s.connected() # True
    s.recv(1024) # receive up to 1024 bytes of data; returns b'hello'
    # connections can also send data
    s.close() # disconnect
    s.opened() # False
    s.connected() # False

Saving servers to a custom directory:

    import localsockets
    localsockets.SERVER_DIR = "< Your new directory > "
