Connecting and listen to a socket

[#1]

Hi, I'm Jmp 17 user.

I have a python script that is a server that keep sending short messages every 3 sec. 

I'm trying to connect and receive these numbers in jmp. 

I used this HTTP Request example  as reference, but the callbackfn never get called. 

callbackfn = function( {x}, 
write ("Message Recieved");
);

//Create a socket
con = Socket();

//Use a specific port on this computer
con << Bind( "localhost", "8081" );

//Tell this socket to be ready for other sockets to connect to it
Write( "\!nlistening on ", (con << getSockName)[3]);
con << Listen();

//When something connects to this socket, call a function to handle
//the connection.  Accept connections for the next 5 minutes.
con << Accept(callbackfn, 30000);

The Accept returns  {"Accept" , "ok"}, but the callbackfn is never called. 

I wrote different python client script that shows what I want to do and it works without any problem. 

something like this - 

    client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    
    try:
        # Connect to the server
        client_socket.connect((host, port))
        print(f"Connected to {host}:{port}")
        
        while True:
            # Receive data from the server
            data = client_socket.recv(1024)
            if not data:
                break
            
            # Print received data
            print(f"Received: {data.decode()}")

any idea why I can't get it to work on JMP? I can't find any documentation execpt the example above. 

Thanks

Scripting Index does have more documentation

and there is also some in Scripting Guide in JMP Help

Thanks for your reply. 

I already checked the scripting Guide, the scripting index and the samples folder, I coudn't find what I'm looking for. 

I'm trying to find a way to get a single number from a server each time it send it, and for now just print it but I don't want to block my JMP app during the waiting. when this will work I'll use this number to update a graph. 

I couldn't find how to start a new thread like it is usually done, any other source/direction will be helpfull

Thanks
