Qt: Python tcp client sends data over socket. How to read these bytes with Qt?

You need to arrange for your code to read when there is data available. From your description, there is not data available yet when startRead() runs.

The server code you attached works this way: Every 'packet' (logical one) is consisted of a size field, and following that size worth of data.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
