recvfrom

Synopsis

                        s.recvfrom(bufsize)

Receives up to bufsize bytes from the socket and returns a tuple ( data ,( ipaddr,port )), where data is a string with the data received, and ipaddr and port are the IP address and port number of the sender. Useful with datagram-oriented sockets, which can receive data from different senders. If there is currently no data in the socket, blocks until some data arrives.
