A minimal WebSocket server library for Python 3.6+ with no external dependencies, offering a clean callback-based API for handling multiple clients. It is aimed at prototyping, testing, and building simple GUI backends rather than full-featured WebSocket deployments.

Use cases

• run a websocket server in python with no dependencies
• prototype a realtime message server
• broadcast messages to connected browser clients
• build a simple gui backend over websockets
• test websocket clients locally
• handle multiple websocket clients with callbacks

When to choose

• you need a zero-dependency websocket server for prototyping or testing
• you want a simple callback API for client connect/disconnect/message events
• you need optional SSL support with minimal setup

When to avoid

• you need full WebSocket protocol feature coverage for production
• you need high-performance or scalable websocket infrastructure
• you prefer a batteries-included framework like websockets or aiohttp
