I am trying to create applications that can communicate through sockets in python.I was already able to achieve this in a console program and was trying to do the same in WPF.It is quite a simple program that should act as the server,where a socket is created,bound to a port then listens for connections.The problem i am facing now is that everytime i include the code for the socket to accept a connection,my program hangs. I have tried to look for the solution online but everyone seems to be doing it exactly the same way i am doing it.Has anyone encountered this problem before and if so how did you solve it. Thanks in advance for your help.
This is the code:
import wpf
import socket
import sys
import clr
import System
HOST=''
PORT = 8888
from System.Windows import Application, Window
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
class MyWindow(Window):
def __init__(self):
wpf.LoadComponent(self, 'managementToolSimulator2.xaml')
def Button1_Click(self, sender, e):
pass
def Window_Loaded(self, sender, e):
s.bind((HOST,PORT))
s.listen(5)
self.ListBox1.AddText('Listening...')
while 1:
conn,addr=s.accept()
self.ListBox1.AddText('Got connection')
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
Application().Run(MyWindow())
If i run the program without the line:
while 1:
conn,addr=s.accept()
self.ListBox1.AddText('Got connection')
it runs fine but if i include the line the program hangs and has to be stopped from the task manager.
