Chat In Terminal

Hello all. 😉 Sockets and servers are vey important for connection and importantly chatting with others.😂😁 I have thought of making a python script which will amek connection and eventually allow us to chat.

(DISCLAIMER - This python script runs only on localhost. If you want to make a connection with other devices then you should check the code of the server.py file and use network library in the client.py file)🙃

About

So, the thing that is done with this script is that, it starts a server and with the help of threading maintains many clients. It is like chatting in the terminal. You can join the chat by starting the client.py file.

Getting Started 😎😎

Working with it is very simple.

  • There shouble be a host means the head of the chat
  • The host should run the server.py file and note the password given by it.
  • The host need to start another terminal and start client.py file and enter with name host 👩‍💻👩‍💻
  • He/She needs to give the correct password as given by the server to start the chat. 🔐
  • Anyone cannot join the chat unless host has joined 👥
  • After host has joined, anyone can join now 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👩‍👩‍👧‍👦
  • Clients need to join with their nickname
  • The message which will be send will be shown with their nickname in fron of the message

Commands to execute and things need to be installed

Python 3 need to be installed You do not need to install anything because all teh libraries used here are built-in.

  • Sockets
  • Threading Commands -
    1. Run the server.py file
