I've got the following code which is based off an example i found here on SO, but when i run it i get an error. Please help, i'm sure its very simple:
def listener(port):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.bind(('',port))
sock.settimeout(1) # n second(s) timeout
try:
while True:
data, addr = sock.recvfrom(1024)
print data
except socket.timeout:
print 'Finished'
def startListenerThread(port):
threading.Thread(target=listener, args=(port)).start()
The error i get is:
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 522, in __bootstrap_inner

self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
TypeError: listener() argument after * must be a sequence, not int
解决方案
The error is coming from the following line:
threading.Thread(target=listener, args=(port)).start()
The args parameter needs to be a sequence, I think your intention is to use a tuple, but wrapping a single value in parentheses does not accomplish this. Here is what you need to change it to:
threading.Thread(target=listener, args=(port,)).start()
Here is a simple example showing the difference:
>>> (100) # this is just value 100
100
>>> (100,) # this is a tuple containing the value 100
(100,)
