Broadcast

[Thomas Weholt]

Posted somewthing about a xmlrpc-webserver with multicast
capabilities, but I've solved all but the thing I've now learned is
called broadcast, not multicast.

I need a simple way of sending packets to local subnet and getting
results from active servers. The mcast.py in the demo-folder of the
distro didn't do it for me, so if anybody has another example I'd be
very grateful.

There some more extensive code in the PyRendezvous project. See http:/

This has been updated by the looks of things and added to sourceforge:
