python ssl server send variable to function

I want to use the "data" var on the server side in another function use this var in a query or some sort of sub-string effect. What is the best way to send this to another function and then return it to the echo_client() ?

best methods to send data back threw to the client as a response string ect?

import socket from socket import AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SO_REUSEADDR, SOL_SOCKET, SHUT_RDWR import ssl global_card_data = [] KEYFILE = 'localhost.key' CERTFILE = 'localhost.cert'

def echo_client(s): while True: data = s.recv(8192) print(data.decode("utf-8"))

    if data == b'':
        break
    s.send(b'This is a response.')
    print('Connection closed')
s.close()

def echo_server(address): s = socket.socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) s.bind(address) s.listen(1) s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)

s_ssl = ssl.wrap_socket(s, keyfile=KEYFILE, certfile=CERTFILE, server_side=True)

while True:
    try:
        (c,a) = s_ssl.accept()
        print('Got connection', c, a)
        echo_client(c)
    except socket.error as e:
        print('Error: {0}'.format(e))

echo_server((socket.gethostbyname('localhost'), 8082))
