This is a python program for peer-to-peer chat application, built as a class project for Computer Networks. It can communicate between peers without the need for a central server. The only requirement is to know the peer's network address in the form of IP and Port number.

It requires the python programming language: Python 2.7 (http://python.org/download/)

The program can be run by: python chatApp.py
