Python SocketServer：发送到多个客户端？

Question

Well, I'm trying to build a small python prgram with a SocketServer that is supposed to send messages it receives to all connected clients. I'm stuck, I don't know how to store clients on the serverside, and I don't know how to send to multiple clients. Oh and, my program fails everytime more then 1 client connects, and everytime a client sends more then one message...

Here's my code until now:

        print str(self.client_address[0])+' connected.'
    def handle(self):
        new=1
        for client in clients:
            if client==self.request:
                new=0
        if new==1:
            clients.append(self.request)
        for client in clients:
            data=self.request.recv(1024)
            client.send(data)

class Host:
    def __init__(self):
        self.address = ('localhost', 0)
        self.server = SocketServer.TCPServer(self.address, EchoRequestHandler)
        ip, port = self.server.server_address
        self.t = threading.Thread(target=self.server.serve_forever)
        self.t.setDaemon(True)
        self.t.start()
        print ''
        print 'Hosted with IP: '+ip+' and port: '+str(port)+'. Clients can now connect.'
        print ''
    def close(self):
        self.server.socket.close()

class Client:
    name=''
    ip=''
    port=0
    def __init__(self,ip,port,name):
        self.name=name
        self.hostIp=ip
        self.hostPort=port
        self.s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.s.connect((self.hostIp, self.hostPort))
    def reco(self):
        self.s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.s.connect((self.hostIp, self.hostPort))
    def nick(self,newName):
        self.name=newName
    def send(self,message):
        message=self.name+' : '+message
        len_sent=self.s.send(message)
        response=self.s.recv(len_sent)
        print response
        self.reco()
    def close(self):
        self.s.close()

Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, so any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Edit: I'm using Python 2.7 on Windows Vista.

You want to look at asyncore here. The socket operations you're calling on the client side are blocking (don't return until some data is received or a timeout occurs) which makes it hard to listen for messages sent from the host and let the client instances enqueue data to send at the same time. asyncore is supposed to abstract the timeout-based polling loop away from you.

Here's a code "sample" -- let me know if anything is unclear:

from __future__ import print_function

import asyncore
import collections
import logging
import socket


MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH = 1024


class RemoteClient(asyncore.dispatcher):

    """Wraps a remote client socket."""

    def __init__(self, host, socket, address):
        asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self, socket)
        self.host = host
        self.outbox = collections.deque()

    def say(self, message):
        self.outbox.append(message)

    def handle_read(self):
        client_message = self.recv(MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH)
        self.host.broadcast(client_message)

    def handle_write(self):
        if not self.outbox:
            return
        message = self.outbox.popleft()
        if len(message) > MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH:
            raise ValueError('Message too long')
        self.send(message)


class Host(asyncore.dispatcher):

    log = logging.getLogger('Host')

    def __init__(self, address=('localhost', 0)):
        asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)
        self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.bind(address)
        self.listen(1)
        self.remote_clients = []

    def handle_accept(self):
        socket, addr = self.accept() # For the remote client.
        self.log.info('Accepted client at %s', addr)
        self.remote_clients.append(RemoteClient(self, socket, addr))

    def handle_read(self):
        self.log.info('Received message: %s', self.read())

    def broadcast(self, message):
        self.log.info('Broadcasting message: %s', message)
        for remote_client in self.remote_clients:
            remote_client.say(message)


class Client(asyncore.dispatcher):

    def __init__(self, host_address, name):
        asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)
        self.log = logging.getLogger('Client (%7s)' % name)
        self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.name = name
        self.log.info('Connecting to host at %s', host_address)
        self.connect(host_address)
        self.outbox = collections.deque()

    def say(self, message):
        self.outbox.append(message)
        self.log.info('Enqueued message: %s', message)

    def handle_write(self):
        if not self.outbox:
            return
        message = self.outbox.popleft()
        if len(message) > MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH:
            raise ValueError('Message too long')
        self.send(message)

    def handle_read(self):
        message = self.recv(MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH)
        self.log.info('Received message: %s', message)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    logging.info('Creating host')
    host = Host()
    logging.info('Creating clients')
    alice = Client(host.getsockname(), 'Alice')
    bob = Client(host.getsockname(), 'Bob')
    alice.say('Hello, everybody!')
    logging.info('Looping')
    asyncore.loop()

Which results in the following output:

INFO:root:Creating host
INFO:root:Creating clients
INFO:Client (  Alice):Connecting to host at ('127.0.0.1', 51117)
INFO:Client (    Bob):Connecting to host at ('127.0.0.1', 51117)
INFO:Client (  Alice):Enqueued message: Hello, everybody!
INFO:root:Looping
INFO:Host:Accepted client at ('127.0.0.1', 55628)
INFO:Host:Accepted client at ('127.0.0.1', 55629)
INFO:Host:Broadcasting message: Hello, everybody!
INFO:Client (  Alice):Received message: Hello, everybody!
INFO:Client (    Bob):Received message: Hello, everybody!

You can use socketserver to broadcast messages to all connected clients. However, the ability is not built into the code and will need to be implemented by extending some of the classes already provided. In the following example, this is implemented using the ThreadingTCPServer and StreamRequestHandler classes. They provide a foundation on which to build but still require some modifications to allow what you are trying to accomplish. The documentation should help explain what each function, class, and method are trying to do in order to get the job done.

Server

#! /usr/bin/env python3

import pickle

def main():
    """Start a chat server and serve clients forever."""
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Execute a chat server demo.')
    parser.add_argument('port', type=int, help='location where server listens')
    arguments = parser.parse_args()
    server_address = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()), arguments.port
    server = CustomServer(server_address, CustomHandler)
    server.serve_forever()


class CustomServer(socketserver.ThreadingTCPServer):

    """Provide server support for the management of connected clients."""

    def __init__(self, server_address, request_handler_class):
        """Initialize the server and keep a set of registered clients."""
        super().__init__(server_address, request_handler_class, True)
        self.clients = set()

    def add_client(self, client):
        """Register a client with the internal store of clients."""
        self.clients.add(client)

    def broadcast(self, source, data):
        """Resend data to all clients except for the data's source."""
        for client in tuple(self.clients):
            if client is not source:
                client.schedule((source.name, data))

    def remove_client(self, client):
        """Take a client off the register to disable broadcasts to it."""
        self.clients.remove(client)


class CustomHandler(socketserver.StreamRequestHandler):

    """Allow forwarding of data to all other registered clients."""

    def __init__(self, request, client_address, server):
        """Initialize the handler with a store for future date streams."""
        self.buffer = queue.Queue()
        super().__init__(request, client_address, server)

    def setup(self):
        """Register self with the clients the server has available."""
        super().setup()
        self.server.add_client(self)

    def handle(self):
        """Run a continuous message pump to broadcast all client data."""
        try:
            while True:
                self.empty_buffers()
        except (ConnectionResetError, EOFError):
            pass

    def empty_buffers(self):
        """Transfer data to other clients and write out all waiting data."""
        if self.readable:
            self.server.broadcast(self, pickle.load(self.rfile))
        while not self.buffer.empty():
            pickle.dump(self.buffer.get_nowait(), self.wfile)

    @property
    def readable(self):
        """Check if the client's connection can be read without blocking."""
        return self.connection in select.select(
            (self.connection,), (), (), 0.1)[0]

    @property
    def name(self):
        """Get the client's address to which the server is connected."""
        return self.connection.getpeername()

    def schedule(self, data):
        """Arrange for a data packet to be transmitted to the client."""
        self.buffer.put_nowait(data)

    def finish(self):
        """Remove the client's registration from the server before closing."""
        self.server.remove_client(self)
        super().finish()

    main()

Of course, you also need a client that can communicate with your server and use the same protocol the server speaks. Since this is Python, the decision was made to utilize the pickle module to facilitate data transfer among server and clients. Other data transfer methods could have been used (such as JSON, XML, et cetera), but being able to pickle and unpickle data serves the needs of this program well enough. Documentation is included yet again, so it should not be too difficult to figure out what is going on. Note that server commands can interrupt user data entry.

Client

Answer 3

要同时使用多个客户端，您必须添加SocketServer.ForkingMixIn或ThreadingMixIn 。

Answer 4

why use SocketServer? a simple client doesn't meet your needs?

import socket

HOST = ''
PORT = 8000
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.bind((HOST, PORT))
sock.listen(5)
while True:
    conn, addr = sock.accept()
    print 'connecting to', addr
    while True:
        data = conn.recv(1024)
        if not data:
            break
        conn.send(data)
