how to split socket data onto multiple clients for separate processing

[ConcealedFox70]

i am controlling 4 stepper motors as a mecanum robot in python socket to esp8266 arduino with a limited amount of pins. i would like to add a pair of servos for a camera gimbal but it will have to be controlled by my raspberry pi because i have no spare pins on the esp8266.

i have the server running pygame joystick and will need to split the controller data to a second client. i see two issues here. firstly how do i run a pair of clients on the same server with each their own dedicated tasks? and second how do i differentiate the two clients so they receive the right data?

below is my current server script that only controls the 4 stepper motors. how do i start adding the two servo controls for my raspberry pi? currently using left joystick and both triggers on my gamepad and would like to use the right joystick for the camera gimbal
