How to accept two connections using sockets in Python -

i working on chat program. right can except 1 client. how make can accept 2 clients? still bit of noob when comes sockets can explain thoroughly?

server code:

import socket  def mainfunc():     host = ""     port = 50000      iplist = []     nicknamelist = []     num = true      s = socket.socket()     s.bind((host, port))      s.listen(1)     c, addr = s.accept()      print("connection from: " + str(addr) + "\n")     iplist.insert(0, str(addr))      while true:         data = c.recv(1024)         if not data:             break          if num == true:             nicknamelist.insert(0, str(data))             num = false         else:             print("from " + nicknamelist[0] + ": " + str(data) + "\n")              message = raw_input("message want send: ")             print("\n")              c.send(message)      c.close() 

i have tried changing s.listen(1) s.listen(2). did not seem allow second person connect. can explain why?

one call accept accepts 1 connection. accept 2 connections, call accept twice.
