Hello,  
I’m working on a game made in python and it now sends out packetes to my  
IP:PORT I desicgnate, but any way I thought it would be ALOT eaiser if I  
did the server in ruby over python since I don’t even now all the stuff  
I need to know to make a server in python. So they can recive and send  
packets to each other right?

Thanks in advance,  
Mohammad

They can - TCP/IP isn’t dependent on language, so a properly written  
server in Ruby will be able to receive packets sent by a properly  
written Python client. The same applies to every other language  
capable of handling TCP/IP.
