network-com 1.2.3rc2

A package for client-server communication over TCP and UDP

Network Package

This package provides a client-server communication system using TCP and UDP.

Installation

To install the package, run:

pip install network_com

Usage

Running the Server

To start the server, you can start the server using the package in your own script:

# my_script.py

from network-com import server
import threading

def start_server():
    udp_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.send_ip)
    tcp_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.tcp_server)
    udp_thread.start()
    tcp_thread.start()
    udp_thread.join()
    tcp_thread.join()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    start_server()

Run the script with:

python my_script.py

Running the Client

To start the client, you can start the client using the package in your own script:

# my_script.py

from network_com import client

def start_client():
    client.udp_listener()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    start_client()

Run the script with:

python my_script.py

Combined Example

Here is an example script (combined_script.py) that allows you to run either the client or the server based on a command-line argument:

# combined_script.py

from network_com import client, server
import threading
import argparse

def start_client():
    client.udp_listener()

def start_server():
    udp_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.send_ip)
    tcp_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.tcp_server)
    udp_thread.start()
    tcp_thread.start()
    udp_thread.join()
    tcp_thread.join()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Run network client or server.")
    parser.add_argument('mode', choices=['client', 'server'], help="Mode to run: client or server")

    args = parser.parse_args()

    if args.mode == 'client':
        start_client()
    elif args.mode == 'server':
        start_server()

Run the script with:

# To start the server
python combined_script.py server

# To start the client
python combined_script.py client

Using the Package in Other Projects

You can import and use the package in any other Python project. Here’s an example:

# another_script.py

from network_com import client, server
import threading

def main():
    # Start server in a separate thread
    server_thread = threading.Thread(target=start_server)
    server_thread.start()

    # Start client in the main thread (or another separate thread if desired)
    start_client()

def start_server():
    udp_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.send_ip)
    tcp_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.tcp_server)
    udp_thread.start()
    tcp_thread.start()
    udp_thread.join()
    tcp_thread.join()

def start_client():
    client.udp_listener()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Run the script with:

python another_script.py
