johnathanchiu / cpp-python-sockets

Basic c++ and python scripts to build an internal socket to communicate with python. Useful when sending data from python to c++.

Cpp-Python-Sockets

Python server with a c++ client. This utility is useful when you want to merge c++ code with python.

Usage

Start up the server using the python script. Then run main.cpp. The python terminal should establish connection.

Modifications that can be made

As of now, the socket can only send and receive a single unsigned int at a time. You can change the data structure to accept different packets and etc. by modifying the struct data type in the c++ header file. Also you can modify the code to receive any type of data. For more information see (https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html) for python uses and (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/socket-programming-cc/) for examples on how the socket can be rebuilt.
