You can also poll for activity by using the select() call. For
example:
...
local_host = '' # Symbolic name meaning the local host
server_port = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_port.bind((local_host, local_port))
server_port.listen(1)
readsocks = []
readsocks.append(sync_port)
# 'halt' would be your stop condition, set elsewhere
while halt == False:
readables, writeables, exceptions = select(readsocks, [], [], 1)
# does the socket has a connection pending?
if server_port in readables:
# process client connection
client_conn, client_addr = server_port.accept()
...
