How would I handle multiple sockets and send data between them in Python 2.7.3?

Question

I am trying to create a server in Python 2.7.3 which sends data to all client connections whenever one client connection sends data to the server. For instance, if client c3 sent "Hello, world!" to my server, I would like to then have my server send "Hello, world!" to client connections c1 and c2. By client connections, I mean the communications sockets returned by socket.accept() . Note that I have tried using the asyncore and twisted modules, but AFAIK they do not support this. Does anybody know any way to accomplish this?

EDIT : I have seen Twisted, but I would much rather use the socket module. Is there a way (possibly multithreading, possibly using select) that I can do this using the socket module?

Answer 1

You can absolutely do this using Twisted Python. You just accept the connections and set up your own handling logic (of course the library does not including built-in support for your particular communication pattern exactly, but you can't expect that).
