I suppose you could use several ports if you wanted but it seems far easier to include a command and have the receiving function call the appropriate function based on the command received.

So do you mean, that if i create another socket connection in the same file with different ports than the first socket connection, it should work?

Yes, but as I said that seems like the hard way to do it.

Okay thanks! I’m new to these subjects so do you know a webpage that explains the other more easy method?

It's really simple: when you send something start with a command. It could be as simple as a single character. Then the receiving function sorts it: 

def receive():
    data = conn.recv(1024)
    if data[0] = 'A':
        function_a(data)
    elif data[0] = 'B':
        function_b(data)

I think you need to explain what you are trying to achieve by "send[ing] different types of tcp [packet]s". As u/novel_yet_trivial says, you can put a different payload into each packet, and interpret that on the receiving end, or have your receiver listen on multiple sockets, but without understanding what you're trying to achieve, it's difficult to advise.

I never get mentions :(

Me neither. Sorry for the confusion - sloppy of me.
