OK, this looks fine, I think.

In the tcpSocketReadyReadEmitted() method, you need to call self.sender() to
get the socket object that emitted the signal. If you call the
nextPendingConnection() method again, you may get a different socket object
or None.

It seems that the library removes connections from an internal queue when
you call nextPendingConnection(), so don't call it again until you have
handled the existing connection.

No problem. It's better to ask questions when you're still a beginner!
