Combining websockets and WSGI in a python app

Question

I\'m working on a scientific experiment where about two dozen test persons play a turn-based game with/against each other. Right now, it\'s a Python web app with a WSGI inte

Answer 1

but I'm not sure about the architecture for mixing WSGI and websockets

I made it

use WSocket

Simple WSGI HTTP + Websocket Server, Framework, Middleware And App.

Includes

• Server(WSGI) included - works with any WSGI framework
• Middleware - adds Websocket support for any WSGI framework
• Framework - simple Websocket WSGI web application framework
• App - Event based app for Websocket communication When external server used, some clients like Firefox requires http 1.1 Server. for Middleware, Framework, App
• Handler - adds Websocket support to wsgiref(python builtin WSGI server)
• Client -Coming soon...

Common Features

• only single file less than 1000 lines
• websocket sub protocol supported
• websocket message compression supported (works if client asks)
• receive and send pong and ping messages(with automatic pong sender)
• receive and send binary or text messages
• works for messages with or without mask
• closing messages supported
• auto and manual close

example using bottle web framework and WSocket middleware

from bottle import request, Bottle
from wsocket import WSocketApp, WebSocketError, logger, run
from time import sleep

logger.setLevel(10)  # for debugging

bottle = Bottle()
app = WSocketApp(bottle)
# app = WSocketApp(bottle, "WAMP")

@bottle.route("/")
def handle_websocket():
    wsock = request.environ.get("wsgi.websocket")
    if not wsock:
        return "Hello World!"

    while True:
        try:
            message = wsock.receive()
            if message != None:
                print("participator : " + message)
                
            wsock.send("you : "+message)
            sleep(2)
            wsock.send("you : "+message)
            
        except WebSocketError:
            break
            
run(app)
