socket.socket.recvfrom_into()

socket.recvfrom_into(buffer[, nbytes[, flags]])

Receive data from the socket, writing it into buffer instead of creating a new bytestring. The return value is a pair (nbytes, address) where nbytes is the number of bytes received and address is the address of the socket sending the data. See the Unix manual page recv(2) for the meaning of the optional argument flags; it defaults to zero. (The format of address depends on the address family — see above.)
