I'm fairly new to Python and I'm very new to sockets and servers in Python, so please bear with me! Basically, I'm trying to set up a hangman game between a client and server to play a game. I know this system has a bunch of weaknesses (including having most of the code on the client side instead of the server side, which I'm working to fix, but anyway...)
In essence, my client launches the game, and gets an input from the server for the "word" of the hangman game. After the game finishes, it plays the init method again to restart the game. I want it to wait for input from the server again so it doesn't play the same input from the 1st time. Do you have any suggestions?
Here's my server code:

Maybe you could make a loop instead of just creating only one Hangman instance, like this:
while True:
game = Hangman()
instead of an infinite loop you can make an exit condition. For example in your class you may have a boolean variable that indicates if the game has ended or not.(for example lets say that the name of this variable is end)
game = Hangman()
while True:
if not game.end:
continue
game = Hangman()
