Python Socket: Storing 'connections'?

Question

I have multi-threaded python socket server:

connection, client_address = sock.accept()

And i need to store 'connection' to use for other thread.

How to do that?

Answer 1

Perhaps a list?

connections = []
connection, client_address = sock.accept()
connections.append(connection)

connection[0]  # this is your connection

Answer 2

right, when you use s.accept(), it creates like a subchannel you can talk to that client privatly in. so, if you do this: connections.append(connection) , you can then select the one in the list you want and go connections[i].send(str.encode("xyz")) or, if you just want to send a message to every client, just use sock.send("xyz") , which will send it to everyone. hope this is helpfull :)
