Description

netcat.py - python (2+3) netcat

See netcat.py for the code (with examples).

Examples

$ ./netcat.py -l -p 8888      # server
hi client!                    # typed on stdin
hi server!                    # from client
^C                            # bye

$ ./netcat.py localhost 8888  # client
hi client!                    # from server
hi server!                    # typed on stdin

TODO

• find a way to receive ICMP port unreachable etc. so we know when a UDP socket is not connected?
• prevent idle waiting (only seems to occur with "fake" I/O where select doesn't actually block)?
