Autobahn|Python is an open-source library implementing the WebSocket protocol and the Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP) for Python 3.11+, running on both Twisted and asyncio. It lets developers build WebSocket and WAMP clients and servers supporting RPC and publish/subscribe messaging.

Use cases

• build a websocket server in python
• add real-time messaging to a python app
• implement pub/sub over websockets
• call remote procedures from python over wamp
• websocket client library for asyncio
• use websockets with twisted

When to choose

• you need WebSocket or WAMP support in Python on Twisted or asyncio
• you want RPC and pub/sub messaging patterns over WebSocket
• you need a mature, standards-compliant WebSocket implementation

When to avoid

• you only need simple HTTP request/response
• you use a framework other than Twisted or asyncio
• you need WAMP in a language without an Autobahn client
