Synchronizing data transfer between client and server
I am working on a client/server tcp project, and I am wondering what a good method for "checking" that the server/client is ready for the data about to be sent.
This is because my client has a gui and I want the server to be ready for any input at any time, and should therefore make sure it isn't trying to send data whilst it is should be sending data
Here is my attempt
Client:
import socket
# Methods of a class
def receiveData(self, FROM=""):
if self.SENT_LAST:
print("DATA WAS LAST SENT BY CLIENT, NO CHECK REQUIRED")
else:
print("DATA LAST SENT BY CLIENT, CHECK REQUIRED")
self.sendPickledData("dataReady")
print("In receive data")
if FROM:
print("From:", FROM)
data = s.recv(4096)
try:
data = pickle.loads(data)
except pickle.UnpicklingError as err:
errorReport(err)
time.sleep(0.2)
self.SENT_LAST = False
if data != noData:
print("data :",data)
return data
else:
print("No data found")
return False
def sendPickledData(self, data, FROM=""):
if self.SENT_LAST:
print("DATA WAS LAST SENT BY CLIENT, CHECK REQUIRED")
checkData = self.receiveData("sendpickled")
print("CheckData :", checkData)
if checkData != "dataReady":
raise ValueError
else:
print("DATA LAST SENT BY CLIENT, NO CHECK REQUIRED")
print("In sendPickle, data :", data)
if FROM:
print("From:", FROM)
data = pickle.dumps(data)
s.sendall(data)
time.sleep(0.5)
self.SENT_LAST = True
print("Data sent")
Server:
import socket
def receiveData_v2(FROM, FUNC=):
global SENT_LAST, receive_count
receive_count += 1
print("Receive :",receive_count)
print("Receiving")
if SENT_LAST:
print("DATA WAS LAST SENT BY SERVER, NO CHECK REQUIRED")
if not SENT_LAST:
print("DATA LAST SENT BY SERVER, CHECK REQUIRED")
sendPickledData("dataReady")
SENT_LAST = False
print("In receive data")
if FROM:
print("From:", FROM)
data = conn.recv(4096)
try:
data = pickle.loads(data)
except pickle.UnpicklingError as err:
print("Pickling error:")
print(err)
if data == PROG_QUIT:
return data
elif data == noData:
return False
else:
if FUNC:
funcData = FUNC(data)
return funcData
else:
return data
def sendPickledData(data):
global SENT_LAST, send_count
send_count += 1
print("Send :",send_count)
print("sending")
if SENT_LAST:
print("DATA WAS LAST SENT BY SERVER, CHECK REQUIRED")
print("sent last")
checkData = receiveData_v2("sendpickled")
print("CheckData :", checkData)
if checkData != "dataReady":
raise ValueError
else:
print("DATA LAST SENT BY SERVER, NO CHECK REQUIRED")
print("In sendPickled,nSending:", data)
data = pickle.dumps(data)
conn.sendall(data)
SENT_LAST = True
conn.sendall(data)
Whenever I try to send data via this method, somehow it ends up de-synching and they will both end up trying to listen for data at the same time. Or receiveData (client) will receive only "dataReady"

No. I want a way for my program to check that, when it sends data, the receiver is ready. Because if I send data, then a moment later need to send data again, I want to make sure the receiving end is prepared to receive those two separate pieces of data
