Engine.IO server
Project description
python-engineio
===============
.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/miguelgrinberg/python-engineio.svg?branch=master
:target: https://travis-ci.org/miguelgrinberg/python-engineio
Python implementation of the `Engine.IO`_ realtime server.
Features
--------
- Fully compatible with the Javascript `engine.io-client`_ library, versions 1.5.0 and up.
- Compatible with Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+.
- Supports large number of clients even on modest hardware when used with an asynchronous server based on `asyncio`_(`sanic`_ or `aiohttp`_), `eventlet`_ or `gevent`_. For development and testing, any WSGI compliant multi-threaded server can be used.
- 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.
Examples
--------
The following application uses the Eventlet asynchronous server, and includes a
small Flask application that serves the HTML/Javascript to the client:
.. code:: python
import engineio
import eventlet
import eventlet.wsgi
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)
And below is a similar example, coded for asyncio (Python 3.5+ only) with the
`aiohttp`_ framework:
.. code:: python
from aiohttp import web
import engineio
eio = engineio.AsyncServer()
app = web.Application()
eio.attach(app)
async def index(request):
"""Serve the client-side application."""
with open('index.html') as f:
return web.Response(text=f.read(), content_type='text/html')
@eio.on('connect')
def connect(sid, environ):
print("connect ", sid)
@eio.on('message')
async def message(sid, data):
print("message ", data)
await eio.send(sid, 'reply')
@eio.on('disconnect')
def disconnect(sid):
print('disconnect ', sid)
app.router.add_static('/static', 'static')
app.router.add_get('/', index)
if __name__ == '__main__':
web.run_app(app)
