Python UDP Broadcast

Question

In python 3.7, when I send a broadcast (via UDP), you need to specify the port. Is there any way I don’t need to do this? Example:

socket.sendto(b, ('<broadcast>', 15000)); #Nesse eu especifico a porta

socket.sendto(b, ('<broadcast>')); #Nesse o programa identifica automaticamente a porta do cliente

data, ip = s1.recvfrom(2048)
ip[1] #É a porta que o servidor deveria enviar o broadcast para o cliente, mas isso iria variar para cada cliente.

I wanted to do it the second way, but he makes that mistake:

TypeError: getsockaddrarg: AF_INET address must be tuple, not str

Answer 1

Regardless of whether it is Python or another language, when broadcasting, you need to specify a port. Actually the question does not even make sense, when using UDP (or TCP) to exchange messages it is always necessary to specify a port.
