Python Chat Server with Client Handling

The document contains a Python script for a simple chat server that handles multiple clients using sockets and threading. It allows clients to connect, send messages, and broadcasts those messages to other clients while managing client connections and disconnections. The server runs on a specified host and port, and it can be shut down gracefully with a keyboard interrupt.
