Hello, I'm trying to read data from a socket and I'm not seeing what I'm expecting.... it seems to skip the first line of data. I am new to Python and just trying to test what I can do with it... and it's not looking pretty.
I have some Python code: [------------------------------ #! /usr/bin/python import socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect( ("localhost",54321) ); s.send("hello") data = s.recv(1024) while len(data) > 0: print repr(data) # the first print of data always seems to "ignore" the first line of data... data = s.recv(1024) ------------------------------] On localhost 54321 I have a server (in Java) writing out [------------------------------ first second third <EOF> ------------------------------] (on EOF, the stream is simply closed.) The result of the script is to print [------------------------------ second third ------------------------------] I have tried already [++++++++++++++ data = " " while len(data) > 0: data = s.recv(1024) print repr(data) ++++++++++++++] but that has not changed anything. The first line to come through is always skipped it would seem. Any ideas as to why that would be....? I was thinking scope when I made the last example, but apparently that is not the case.
