Description: # et
        Sending and receiving arbitrary data via UDP
        
        
        This package implements a lightweight, pure-Python client and server
        pair that sends and receives simple Python structures via UDP.  The original motivation is to
        enable a package to send "phone home" messages.
        
        The default encoding is zlib-compressed json. (pickle is not used out
        of security concerns
        [[example](https://www.smartfile.com/blog/python-pickle-security-problems-and-solutions/)].)
        
        
        
        # Example
        
        ```
        make devready
        ```
        
        In one shell, type:
        
        ```
        $ python et/server.py
        INFO:__main__:Listening on localhost:2233
        ```
        
        In another shell, type:
        
        ```
        $ python ./et/client.py 
        ```
        (There is no output from the client)
        
        In the server window, you should see messages like: 
        
        ```
        INFO:__main__:Received 4 bytes from ('127.0.0.1', 47750) in format 1
        
        INFO:__main__:Received 12 bytes from ('127.0.0.1', 59498) in format 2

        ```
        
        Format 1 is json; format 2 is compressed json.
