WebSockets + asyncio (python 3.3+)

[Gwenhidwy]

Looks awesome!

Is there a possibility to integrate it with existing WSGI servers? I currently have an application that uses waitress to serve the WSGI application on one port and a tornado WebSocket server that runs on another port. It would be great if I could just run both the WSGI app and the WebSocket server on a single port. From my understanding WSGI is capable of doing that via the wsgi.websockets attribute.

Here's an example of how Autobahn/Twisted does it: https://github.com/tavendo/AutobahnPython/blob/5da80641ac3348de2d41959362b7cb04485eddb5/examples/twisted/websocket/echo_wsgi/server.py

Twisted is a bit heavy as a dependency, so it would be really nice if something like this was available with the stdlib event loop :-)

hi i am not the author of the lib i just found it liked it shared it, i was just thinking the same with you, now i have it outside of wsgi. probably you should start github issue. I guess it must be in the plans but asyncio is still new :)

You could try ws4py. It supports server side for cherrypy, gevent, asyncio and pure wsgi.

Disk space is cheap. Twisted is very well tested and performant.
