Engine.IO server

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/miguelgrinberg/python-engineio.svg?branch=master

Python implementation of the Engine.IO realtime server.

Features

  • Fully compatible with the Javascript engine.io-client library.

  • Compatible with Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+.

  • Based on Eventlet, enabling large number of clients even on modest hardware.

  • Includes a WSGI middleware that integrates Engine.IO traffic with standard WSGI applications.

  • Uses an event-based architecture implemented with decorators that hides the details of the protocol.

  • Implements HTTP long-polling and WebSocket transports.

  • Supports XHR2 and XHR browsers as clients.

  • Supports text and binary messages.

  • Supports gzip and deflate HTTP compression.

  • Configurable CORS responses to avoid cross-origin problems with browsers.

Example

The following application uses Flask to serve the HTML/Javascript to the client:

import engineio
import eventlet
from flask import Flask, render_template

eio = engineio.Server()
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    """Serve the client-side application."""
    return render_template('index.html')

@eio.on('connect')
def connect(sid, environ):
    print("connect ", sid)

@eio.on('message')
def message(sid, data):
    print("message ", data)
    eio.send(sid, 'reply')

@eio.on('disconnect')
def disconnect(sid):
    print('disconnect ', sid)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # wrap Flask application with engineio's middleware
    app = engineio.Middleware(eio, app)

    # deploy as an eventlet WSGI server
    eventlet.wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8000)), app)
