Python Network Programming

How it works...

A common path is defined for a UDS client/server to interact. Both the client and server use the same path to connect and listen to.

In a server code, we remove the path if it exists from the previous run of this script. It then creates a Unix datagram socket and binds it to the specified path. It then listens for incoming connections. In the data processing loop, it uses the recv() method to get data from the client and prints that information on screen.

The client-side code simply opens a Unix datagram socket and connects to the shared server address. It sends a message to the server using sendall(). It then waits for the message to be echoed back to itself and prints that message.
