Sockets -- Basic networking tests using python.
Sockets has evolved into a simple messaging program. One or more clients can connect to a server and send messages to each other. All messages are plain text, not encrypted, and therefore not suitable for serious use. Encryption may come in the future.
We are working on a graphical interface using Kivy. The program has an interactive terminal interface right now, and works well, but we have run into some limitations of terminal programs and have decided to switch.
Example Output: Server:

[LOG] Renaming 127.0.0.1:50000 to Alice.
