Sending an array over UDP connection

Question

I want to send an array using a UDP connection. When I use the sendto function, it complains that it must be a string. Is there any way around this?

Thanks

You must serialize your data (in this case is an array) before sending it. Then in receiver, you will deserialize to get the original data.

You can do it in Python, using pickle or cPickle module:

import cPickle as p

# Sender
data_str = p.dumps(array)
sock.sendto(data_str, addr)

# Receiver
data,addr = sock.recvfrom(buf)
data_origin = p.loads(data)
