Question

I want to get out of loop when there is no data but loop seems to be stopping at recvfrom

image=''
while 1:
        data,address=self.socket.recvfrom(512)
        if data is None:break
        image=image+data
        count=count+1
        print str(count)+' packets received...'

Answer 1

Try setting to a non-blocking socket. You would do this before the loop starts. You can also try a socket with a timeout.
