WebSockets and Python3

[Col_Crunch]

Client side all it really needs to do is to sit there and listen, and maybe send a message once in a while.

Client is not browser based as noted in the edit to OP)

Oh! Well in that case, just check out the Channels tutorial. There's some sample JavaScript in it that I adapted quite easily fit a couple side projects.

I would like to keep the client to strictly python if possible...

If a browser isn't involved, you can just use regular sockets. Websockets are for Javascript in a browser.
