[Solved] why recv accept mort than expected number of bytes ? [closed]

Question

Assuming envois is a socket, you will not receive more than the amount you specify. From the docs

socket.recv(bufsize[, flags])

Receive data from the socket. The return value is a bytes object representing the data received. The maximum amount of data to be received at once is specified by bufsize.

You should be able to assert len(tuple) <= 7

But, don’t name a variable tuple. You will hide the builtin.
