How to connect to poloniex.com websocket api using a python library

Question

I am trying to connect to wss://api.poloniex.com and subscribe to ticker. I can\'t find any working example in python. I have tried to use autobahn/twisted and websocket-cli

Answer 1

Meanwhile poloniex changed the ticker API, so now it returns a symbol-id instead of a name, so maybe someone will find this useful:
