the way you explain what you doing while doing it, is awesome. I am a VERY new Pythoner and was looking for a video to understand this server client communication. you video did the trick

[@matheus-sm]

Man, that really help me! I'm searching for this kind of content in portuguese for weeks, without any sucess... Thanks so much!

[@notsobob]

I love your videos, man. Apart from learning a lot, your English is impeccable, in particular your intonation and your ability to paraphrase; all your tutorials are really watchable.

[@HomelessDeamon]

Kudos To you NeuralNine this is perfect, as always, have a great day.

[@alex_mahone]

Another great video! Thanks! Even though you said gui programming is not your thing, but would you make a video or a series of videos going over some gui programming in Python? It's been a weakness of mine, but would like to work on it, and who better to teach it than you :)

[@deeparose2926]

This is literally amazing!!:)

[@preetijain2396]

Excellent Tutorial!! Thanks a lot!

[@ComputerScienceSimplified]

Awesome video, keep up the amazing work! :)

[@anton-r]

thanks for video as i understand , time 9:30 python must get an Iterable variable this way you put an (arg , ) . it can be tuple , list , etc ..

[@eliasc9322]

Excelente video !! podrias intentar que el cliente (humano) interactúe con un bot, basado en aiml? y que luego las conversaciones se guardaran en un archivo.json usando tynidb seria genial....

[@earthling6717]

Two small bug fixes >>>> 1.call self.sock.connect() method in client after getting nickname input from client , cause if the client do not input the nickname .. server do not accept other clients ... 2. Before Broadcasting "joined server message" or sending a confirmation massage from server to the client do a small delay .. cause the GUI is not ready yet so it will not show up to the client who just joined Btw, this is the best practical video on socket programming that i found on KZbin

[@mixup2216]

For the first one it is better to create the client handle thread immediately after connecting and then have the beginning of the handle wait for the nick. I think in general it is good practice to fix bugs like this on the server side so that way you wouldn't have someone maliciously connecting to the server without sending any input to block new people from entering or have a client that connects and then their client freezes or something.

[@preetijain2396]

I we want to make a connection and chat between two different systems, then to what should we change our IP adresses and in which file??

[@Lex-qt1cc]

I'm 5 minutes in and it's crazy how everything that you say makes sense. Wish I could have found you earlier :)

[@dakshsharma-se6rr]

heyy ! do you have source code

[@leonardonetagamer]

Can you please show us how to port forward so we can use the chat from other systems?? I tried with no luck ... thanks!

Thank you man Can you do a clip about communication between tow computer from different local ips?

[@danielniels22]

hello, have you figured out a way to do that? or do you have some code or videos on making that? (communicating between two computers)

[@420oppa69]

@@danielniels22 you need to set the host to '0.0.0.0' and redirect the port on your router to your pc, then connect the client trough your open ip address and port

[@Jdeadevil]

I think you could have explained some of the server script a little better than just "I'm going to type this here" and "this is a basic setup for a server", but just my two cents, it would be useful for people to change code later when they know how it works.

I did this years ago with pygame to build my GUI, what a pain in the butt that was. This looks much cleaner (and quicker).

[@_demonamv]

Don't mind but using pygame is not smart, when there is tkinter

[@erik-martin]

@@_demonamv yes tkinter is the better choice. For me it was more about learning than using the best library.

how do I change the IP to mine? I looked at your website but there was only the 127.0.0.1 Lhost. If I change it to my ip the firewall let it enter, but i can not connect with other devices.

I haven't tried this yet,, still watching tutorials. You're earlier videos before this on the same you too use lists to store clients and nicknames. Is there a reason you wouldn't use dictionary instead? That seems convenient.

[@eggcat287]

Do you need to port foward or can you join from another pc ? im gonna start the video like that

[@Talkren]

Is there a way to incorporate an "Online users" section to this? I was trying to this on my own but I got stuck. I wasn't sure if it was something that would need to be done server side and updated to the client or what.

[@mixup2216]

What is the point first defining the client as a class then executing it? Could it work just fine if you made it like the server?

Can anyone help ,please? I did a quite similar program , and everything seems to work just fine, but as soon as I give a nickname , then the other tkinter box (where one would eventually text) kind of freezes and becomes unresponsive The server is running perfectly and connections are okay but the above said problem is something I am not understanding **I have done the program in spyder** Any help would be appreciated!!

Hey! In Mac OS, the UI frameworks can only be accessed using "main thread", it took me a while to find out why this code was not working for me :)

[@MB-ol4hd]

Hi there, bit of a new Python coder and having some issues with this coding tutorial that I can't seem to resolve. Once the nickname has been sent from the client to the server, the application drops and I receive "Tcl_AsyncDelete: async handler deleted by the wrong thread" in the terminal from the client side and "nickname = client.recv(1024) ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" from the server terminal. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm attempting to make it a public server, but when I put my private IPv4 in the Server and my public IPv4 in the client it gives me this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/REDACTED/PycharmProjects/test/client.py", line 98, in client = Client(HOST, PORT) File "C:/Users/REDACTED/PycharmProjects/test/client.py", line 14, in __init__ self.sock.connect((host, port)) ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

how did you do the last part with the command "Python server.py"? because i did that in my command prompt and it says that it didn't find anything

[@Talkren]

You will need to either open IDLE and launch it via that OR you need to update your Path system variable file. Otherwise you can open CMD, type 'py' and get the Python interface in CMD. But this is the same thing as just using IDLE.
