import socket,time
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind(('',0))
port=s.getsockname()[1]
s.setblocking(0)
lines=[]
while True:
try:
data, addr = s.recvfrom(1024)
if addr not in clients:
clients.append(addr)
if not lines:
for client in clients:
s.sendto(lines, client)
except:

s.close()
I have paint application, in which the server sends the co-ordinates to a set of clients. I use the above code for sending, launching on a separate thread. This sends data to each client sequentially. This will cause a delay to the clients at the end of the list. Launching a separate thread for each client has scalability issues. Is there is scalabe way to write the above code maybe using async.io?
