A Python implementation of the Socket.IO realtime client and server, supporting WebSocket and long-polling transports with asyncio, eventlet, and gevent integration. It enables bidirectional, event-based communication between Python servers and clients, including compatibility with the JavaScript Socket.IO reference implementation.

Use cases

build a realtime chat server in Python
push live updates to web clients over websockets
add bidirectional event-based messaging to a Flask or FastAPI app
connect a Python client to a JavaScript Socket.IO server
implement low-latency notifications or live dashboards
stream data to browsers in real time

When to choose

you need Socket.IO protocol compatibility in Python, including with JS clients
you want event-based realtime messaging with fallback to long-polling
you need asyncio, eventlet, or gevent support
you want a mature, well-documented library with an active maintainer

When to avoid

you only need plain WebSockets without the Socket.IO protocol overhead
you need protocol revisions older than revision 4 (Engine.IO 3)
your project is not Python-based
