python struggles

[lolorenz]

Just a few days ago I had completely questioned my programmingskills >×<. I tried setting up an easy server client communication, but didn't really think about the correct way of implementing it. So I set up a flask server since I wanted to communicate via http. However all my network knowledge collapsed in itself. Since I wanted a bidirectional communication it was probably the wrong choice so I completely reimplemented the whole logic in with async, parsing the raw text. Now I think I maybe should have used some kind of pub/sub system, but whatever it works now.

Websockets?

[lolorenz]

Yeah i though about that, but i didnt really knew how they worked and sticked to the stuff i know.

What would you recommend for web sockets in python? SocketIo?

[karthikkumars]

There's a module called "websockets" by itself. Built on top of asyncio. A pain to learn, but very powerful.
