array/list of sockets in python

Question

I am currently trying to make and use a list/array of sockets in a program. So I have declared an array as follows:

myCSocks = ['CSock1', 'CSock2', 'CSock3', 'CSock4', 'CSock5']

and I am trying to use my array elements as follows:

myCSocks[i], addr = serverSocket.accept()
 and 
message = myCSocks[i].recv(1024)

I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./htmlserv_multi.py", line 22, in 
 message = myCSocks[i].recv(1024)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'recv'

This kind of makes sense to me, it is saying that my array elements are of type String and are not sockets. So I understand what my problem is but I do not know how to remedy it. I have googled "list of sockets python" but did not find anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

myCSocks = ['CSock1', 'CSock2', 'CSock3', 'CSock4', 'CSock5']
This is a list of Python strings, not an array, not sockets.

Answer 1

You actually have added strings to your list. this 'is_a_string. You need to add the objcts to the list. E.g.:

myCSocks = [CSock1, CSock2, CSock3, CSock4, CSock5]

Hope this helps.
