My own Lan system

Hey, I recently create a game, who need a comunication between 2 player and I came out with this, I just wan't to know if this code is not too terrible.

If you wan't to use it you create a class that inherit from LanBrick and put all the communication stuff that you game need in that class (LanBrick.__next__(self) if meant to be call using next(instance_of_LanBrick) and every frame)

I want to know if this program is bad or not, I think it's bad because it need communication during all the connection, syncing the FPS between the 2 player(if you use this for a game)

        elif self.in_co:
            self.connect()
Here are the changes made to the code:

Removed the unnecessary __slots__ attribute since it doesn't provide any specific benefits in this case.
Corrected the assignment of length_end to use ord('-') instead of b'-'[0].
Renamed the disconect method to disconnect for consistency.
Renamed the recv method to receive to avoid conflicts with the recv function from the socket module.
Removed redundant comments and clarified some existing comments.
Fixed the typo in the disconnected attribute name.
Cleaned up the formatting and indentation for improved readability.
Please note that while these changes address the identified errors, there may still be additional improvements or optimizations that can be made based on the specific requirements and context of your application.

Hope this helps and good luck with your game.
