Question

Is there any way I can store a socket and a username in a list? I don’t think this is possible, as an integer is required in the list to store the index. What would you guys recommend I do? Really have no idea.

Answer 1

The simplest way is to store tuples in your list.

l = list()
l.add(tuple(username, socket))

print l[0][0], l[0][1] # will print username and soket of first item

Or you can define class, for example UserSock and fill up list with instances of this class

class UserSock:
    def __init__(self, username, socket):
        self.username = username
        self.socket = socket

l = list()
l.add(UserSock(username, socket))

print l[0].username l[0].socket # will print username and soket of first item
