so, the problem, that when I trying to create a "session" between two clients, its work until some client write something, after writing something code just stopping at this client and this error at the server:

Error accepting connection: [WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket

Is the error on the client or server end?

That error typically means that you accidentally closed the socket before attempting to use it.

my client just stopping, and error on the server

[bleak copper]

Can you show an example terminal session for both the client and server?

Also note, your use of recv and send is unsafe. Those methods are not guarenteed to fully send/recieve all the text at once. You'll want to read this. I don't think that's your current issue, but it will become an issue.

[bleak copper]

I don't see anything obvious. Unfortunately, I need to go. I'll look back on this later and see if I can spot anything.

[bleak copper]

I just realized that the error in that least screenshot is different than your original error.

[cyan quarry]

oh, really)

[bleak copper]

Winerror 10054 vs 10038

[bleak copper]

response = input("Do you want to start a session with this user? (yes/no): ").strip().lower()

Is this not just a timeout? Your client is waiting for you to enter text.

[cyan quarry]

yea, but u can start the program, and u will see that u can not see this text

[molten adder]

perhaps the prompt didnt show up because your client's send_messages thread is already waiting on input()?
