Running The UDP Server & Client Together

Connecting the Two

We’ll run both together in one file called udp.py instead of running them separately. We’ve written some python code in the main function that allows you to specify which function you want the code to run, the server or the client.

To run the code, you would need to follow these steps:

1. Type your code and when you are ready to run the program, click on Run. The server code should start up automatically.
2. Open another terminal by clicking on +
3. Type the command python3 /usercode/udp.py client Note that it can be server in place of client.
4. Enter the text in the client window and see the effect.
5. If the program is not running to your satisfaction:
   1. Kill the running server program by typing the break sequence ctrl+c or command+c in both of the terminal windows.
   2. Change the code
   3. Click on Run.
   4. Type command python3 /usercode/udp.py server and python3 /usercode/udp.py client in the first and second terminal window, respectively. Go back to step 4.

Every time you make a change to the code you must click run for the changes to take effect.
