Python dictionary for storing socket objects

Question

Can we store socket objects in a Python dictionary. I want to create a socket, save the socket object, do some things, and then read from the socket (search from a dictionary to get socketobject).

Answer 1

Yes:

>>> import socket
>>> s = socket.socket()
>>> d = {"key" : s}
>>> d
{'key': <socket._socketobject object at 0x00CEB5A8>}
