import sys

# ...

# Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
# In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

# - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
# - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
# - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

socket_for_sending = chilkat2.Socket()
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_sending)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

socket_for_monitor = chilkat2.Socket()
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_monitor)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
