:mod:`websocket` -- Websocket Server
=====================================
This module provides a simple way to create a `websocket
`_ server. It works with a few
tweaks in the :mod:`~eventlet.wsgi` module that allow websockets to
coexist with other WSGI applications.
To create a websocket server, simply decorate a handler method with
:class:`WebSocketWSGI` and use it as a wsgi application::
from eventlet import wsgi, websocket
import eventlet
@websocket.WebSocketWSGI
def hello_world(ws):
ws.send("hello world")
wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8090)), hello_world)
.. note::
Please see graceful termination warning in :func:`~eventlet.wsgi.server`
documentation
You can find a slightly more elaborate version of this code in the file
``examples/websocket.py``.
As of version 0.9.13, eventlet.websocket supports SSL websockets; all that's necessary is to use an :ref:`SSL wsgi server `.
.. note :: The web socket spec is still under development, and it will be necessary to change the way that this module works in response to spec changes.
.. automodule:: eventlet.websocket
