Simple Chat Room using Python

Python is one of the most versatile programming languages and one can observe that through its various applications everywhere. Here is an example of how you can build a simple command-line based chat room using python which is easy to implement and understand. So let’s get started.

What is a chat room?

A chat room is a medium/interface that allows two or more people to chat and send messages to everyone. It can be interpersonal (one-one) and group chat too. In this tutorial, we’re going to build a group chat room that can host more than two clients at a time.

Architecture

For chat room, we’re going to use the server-client architecture. It means multiple clients will be hosted by one server.

Getting Started:

Before diving into code, the last thing we want to know is to follow this architecture, we need to write two scripts, one for the server-side and the other one for the client-side. One thing that needs to be very clear is that clients will talk only via server. There will be no direct communication between them. So let’s dive into the code.
