ws4py is a Python library implementing the WebSocket protocol (RFC 6455) for both clients and servers, supporting Python 2, 3, and PyPy. It provides a lightweight way to add real-time bidirectional communication to Python applications.
Use cases
- add websocket support to a python server
- python websocket client library
- implement rfc 6455 websockets in python
- stream real-time messages over websockets
- websocket library that works on pypy
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, pure-Python WebSocket implementation
- you must support both Python 2 and 3 or PyPy
- you want client and server WebSocket support in one library
When to avoid
- you need a actively developed library with frequent updates
- you want WebSocket support integrated with a modern async framework like asyncio or FastAPI
- you need high-performance production websockets at scale
