Code that USES PYTHON to receive multicast data

First of all, I didn't write it, I found it, but someone else wrote it pretty well.

 
# UDP multicast examples, Hugo Vincent, 2005-05-14. 
import socket 

def send(data, port=50000, addr='239.192.1.100'): 
"""send(data[, port[, addr]]) - multicasts a UDP datagram.""" 
# Create the socket 
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) 
# Make the socket multicast-aware, and set TTL. 
s.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.IP_MULTICAST_TTL, 20) # Change TTL (=20) to suit 
# Send the data 
s.sendto(data, (addr, port)) 

def recv(port=50000, addr="239.192.1.100", buf_size=1024): 
"""recv([port[, addr[,buf_size]]]) - waits for a datagram and returns the data.""" 

# Create the socket 
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) 

# Set some options to make it multicast-friendly 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) 
try: 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEPORT, 1) 
except AttributeError: 
pass # Some systems don't support SO_REUSEPORT 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_IP, socket.IP_MULTICAST_TTL, 20) 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_IP, socket.IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, 1) 

# Bind to the port 
s.bind(('', port)) 

# Set some more multicast options 
intf = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_IP, socket.IP_MULTICAST_IF, socket.inet_aton(intf) + socket.inet_aton('0.0.0.0')) 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_IP, socket.IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, socket.inet_aton(addr) + socket.inet_aton('0.0.0.0')) 

# Receive the data, then unregister multicast receive membership, then close the port 
data, sender_addr = s.recvfrom(buf_size) 
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_IP, socket.IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP, socket.inet_aton(addr) + socket.inet_aton('0.0.0.0')) 
s.close() 
return data
