Flask-Sockets is a Flask extension that adds elegant WebSocket routing support to Flask apps via a decorator-based API, built on gevent and gevent-websocket. It is officially deprecated in favor of flask-sock.
Use cases
- add websocket endpoints to a flask app
- build an echo server with websockets in python
- serve websockets alongside regular http routes in flask
- use websockets with flask blueprints
- deploy a flask websocket app with gunicorn
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy flask app already using flask-sockets
- you need gevent-based websocket support in an old flask codebase
When to avoid
- starting a new flask project needing websockets (use flask-sock instead)
- you need async or modern ASGI websocket support
- you want an actively maintained library
