[zeromq-dev] ZeroMQ with Python and a basic task

[Michael Cuggy]

Yes, I was running a corresponding Python script to listen on port 5555.

My nmap commands show that port 5555 was "closed" and not "filtered."
That is consistent with the firewall rules allowing connectivity over
port 5555.  (A software firewall or hardware firewall that blocked
port 5555 would show "filtered.")

Can you show me a specific client chat program?  I tried to find one
off the Internet.  I'd prefer it to be in Python.  But it doesn't have
to be.  I just want to use ZeroMQ in a practical way like creating a
chat room.  I want access to the source code.  I'd like to see one
from this plethora.  Thank you very much for your response.  I look
forward to getting a second response.
