'''There are two possible input situations. Either the
      user wants to give  manual input to send to other people,
      or the server is sending a message  to be printed on the
      screen. Select returns from sockets_list, the stream that
      is reader for input. So for example, if the server wants
      to send a message, then the if condition will hold true
      below.If the user wants to send a message, the else
      condition will evaluate as true'''
