Notes and Observations
The use of Python language to make a connection between two device was very informative. One computer had to run different segments of a program written in Python. One computer had to act as the client and the other as the server. We did run into some issues because I was trying to use my MacbookPro to talk to another computer with now success. after further deliberation, the idea to change the port number was brought up to try. SO we changed the port on both computer from the current port number to port 80. To our success, we were able to speak between devices. Others experienced lack of comms due to running too many python windows at the same time. That program is prone to not running correctly with numerous windows open. Once that was figured, we were able to run successful sessions between all computers.
