Sending Image through Socket Programming - Vishnu™ - May 4, 2018

I am taking screenshot using ImageGrab from PIL library and want to send same from server to client.
I am able to send messages bidirectionally. but can't figure out sending objects or anything other than messages

Server Code :

Code 
import socket

import cv2

from PIL import ImageGrab

mysocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

mysocket.bind(("xx.xx.xx.xx",6666))

mysocket.listen(5)

(client, (ip, port)) = mysocket.accept()

image = ImageGrab.grab()

msg = "test"

client.send(msg.encode())

#

#

#

Client Code:

Code 
import socket

import cv2

mysocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

mysocket.connect(("xx.xx.xx.xx",6666))

data = mysocket.recv(1024)

print(data)

If you can, please replace code with image i am trying to send
Thanks 🎉

Try something like this (sorry, i dont have time to replace into your code):

Code 
From PIL import ImageGrab

import numpy as np

printscreen = ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(0, 0, 800, 600)

printscreen_np = np.array(printscreen.getData(), dtype='uint8')

This would take the pixels and puts them in an array

The best method i think is to convert the img to a string.
After this u can use base64 to compress the string and send it.

RE: Sending Image through Socket Programming - Blackshield_real - May 6, 2018

Hi , I need some help in socket programming as well, could anyone here tell me how can I make something like a client querying data from the server (maybe a dictionary storing stock and their prices) send data from server to the client (according to the request like stock first and then prices maybe price of multiple stocks at a time). Can I also make the data look in a tabular form as well on the client end?

I'm at the point where I have done simple client-server code did played with a dictionary and tried sending it over to the client but comes as a single vertical line not in a tabular form, is this even possible? I'm fairly new to python so..
please Guide me through some references if possible.
