## What it is
A BSD-licensed Django application that integrates Socket.IO and WebSockets into Django projects via gevent-socketio. It provides a channel subscription/broadcast system, a signals-like event abstraction, and a management command for running gevent's pywsgi server.

## Use cases
- add websockets to a django app
- broadcast events to subscribed clients in django
- build real-time notifications with django
- run a gevent socket.io server alongside django
- partition websocket events into channels

## When to choose
- you have an existing legacy Django project on old socket.io 0.6 clients
- you want a signals-style event API for websocket handling in Django

## When to avoid
- you need modern socket.io protocol support (project is bound to socket.io 0.6)
- you are starting a new Django project - use Django Channels instead
- you need actively maintained websocket tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: websocket, http-server, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: python
- tags: django, socketio, gevent, channels, broadcast, real-time, web-server
