I know how you feel; it's brutal trying to get elementary information from
this group.

I think what he is hinting at is that you are missing a right parentheses.

msgNum = int(split(msg, " ")[0]

should be:

msgNum = int(split(msg, " "))[0]


msgSize = int(split(msg, " ")[1]

should be:

msgSize = int(split(msg, " "))[1]


Now if only somebody would tell me, with elementary examples, how you
write to the thing called 'stdout' and how you read from 'stdin'.
