A Python library that adds Socket.IO (WebSocket with fallbacks) support to Flask applications, enabling bidirectional real-time event-based communication between server and clients. It integrates with Flask's routing and session handling and supports multiple async workers like gevent and eventlet.
Use cases
- add real-time chat to a flask app
- push live updates to browsers over websockets
- build a flask app with socket.io events
- stream live notifications from server to clients
- implement bidirectional messaging in python web app
- add websocket support to existing flask project
When to choose
- you already use Flask and need real-time bidirectional communication
- you want Socket.IO features like rooms, namespaces, and automatic fallback transports
- you need a mature, well-documented Python Socket.IO server
When to avoid
- you need raw WebSocket control without the Socket.IO protocol
- your app is not built on Flask
- you want a framework-agnostic async solution like python-socketio with FastAPI
