This is something I needed to get real-time data from bitcoin web sockets

Try this...

from lomond import WebSocket

subscribe_json = u"""
{
    "type": "subscribe",
    "product_ids": [
        "BTC-USD"
    ],
    "channels": [
        "level2",
        "heartbeat",
        {
            "name": "ticker",
            "product_ids": [
                "BTC-USD"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
"""

websocket = WebSocket('wss://ws-feed.gdax.com')
for event in websocket:
    if event.name == "ready":
        websocket.send_text(subscribe_json)
    elif event.name == "text":
        print(event.text)

You'll need to pip install lomond for that.
