gevent-socketio is a Python implementation of the Socket.IO protocol built on gevent and gevent-websocket, enabling real-time bidirectional communication between browsers and servers. It integrates with WSGI-based frameworks like Pyramid, Flask, and Django with minimal setup code.

Use cases

• add real-time websocket communication to a Flask app
• implement Socket.IO server in Python
• build live chat or notifications with Django over websockets
• stream real-time updates from a Pyramid WSGI server
• use Socket.IO protocol with gevent

When to choose

• you need Socket.IO protocol support in a Python WSGI stack
• your app already uses gevent for concurrency
• you want framework-agnostic websocket integration with Flask, Django, or Pyramid

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with recent protocol support
• you can use native websockets without the Socket.IO protocol
• you are not using the gevent WSGI server
