Project Overview:

This project involves creating a simple chat application using Python and WebSockets. The goal is to establish real-time communication between multiple clients connected to a server. The chat application will allow users to send and receive messages instantly, showcasing the use of WebSockets for maintaining a persistent connection between the server and the clients.

Technology Stack:

• Programming Language: python

• Socket Library: Socket (Python library), websockets (Python library),

• Concurrency: Threading (to handle multiple client connections simultaneously)

System Requirements

• Python 3.x installed on your system.

• Basic understanding of Socket protocol , websockets and Python programming.

Detailed Implementation:

1. Server-Side Implementation

• Code File: server.py

• Purpose: Manages WebSocket connections, handles incoming messages, and broadcasts them to all connected clients, handling clients disconnection.

2. Client-Side Implementation

• File: client.py

• Purpose: Connects to the Socket server, sends messages, and receives broadcasts from other clients.

Usage Instructions

1. Run the Server:

• Start the Socket server by running the server.py script.

• Ensure the server is running before any clients attempt to connect.

Run server.py:

Client connected to the server:

Message are received from client:

2. Run the Client(s):

• Run the client.py script on multiple terminals to simulate multiple clients.

• Each client will be able to send messages that will be broadcast to all other connected clients.

Run client.py

Client 2 :receives the broadcasted message:

Client 3:
