import socket
HOST = "127.0.0.1"
PORT = 5000
mySocket = socket.socket( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM )
mySocket.bind( ( HOST, PORT ) )
while 1:
   packet, address = mySocket.recvfrom( 1024 )
   print "From host:", address[ 0 ]
   print "Host port:", address[ 1 ]
   print "Length:", len( packet )
   print "\t" + packet
   mySocket.sendto( packet, address )
   print "Packet sent\n"
mySocket.close()
