Thanks for responding. :) I will try to be a little more clear this time :)

I received the results of  'The received data is  Mousey MooMousey MooMousey
MooMousey MooMousey MooMousey MooMousey Moo' when executing my socks. I
hoped to get the result of ''The received data is  Mousey Moo'

I have limited the number of bytes received in my code (data =
conn.recv(50)) and I have recieved favorable results. I received the results
of 'The received data is  Mousey Moo'.

Can the received data be placed into another value should as an array or
list?
