[?] Python - Listen for data on socket by Spunky on 09-20-2008 at 02:44 AM
I'm trying to listen to data coming in on a socket, but loops just stop the script from responding. I've tried async methods, but I think thats going down the wrong path. I'm basically trying to talk to the msn servers (packet sniffing etc)
I don't know much about Python, but I think it has to be done with classes. I've NEVER written classes in any language believe it or not

Doesn't the socket object have events where you can register a callback?

I'm not sure/ I've looked for stuff but haven't really found anything except bind() and listen(), but all examples show them in loops which locks up the program. I need it to be asyncronous.
