Full Version: passing data to messagebox
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have 2 python scripts performing messaging over socket connection. It works fine via CLI however I am now trying to display the receiver end data message via tkinter in a messagebox. My problem is when the message is received I dont know how to break the while loop when pressing OK on the messagebox. I also need to make sure the incoming socket connection is not interrupt, ie- after closing the messagebox the receiver waits for the next incoming message.

Python code at receiver end :

# Save as server.py 
# Message Receiver
import os
from socket import *
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.messagebox

root = tk.Tk()

host = ""
port = 13000
buf = 1024
addr = (host, port)
UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
UDPSock.bind(addr)
print ("Waiting to receive messages...")

(data, addr) = UDPSock.recvfrom(buf)\

while True:
    tkinter.messagebox.showinfo('Duress Message', data)
