passing data to messagebox - kmusawi - Feb-18-2019
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)
