Flask-socketio: Pure Python client with Flask-SocketIO

[heyjordn]

Im following your tutorial, I cloned your repo and have the websocket server up and running, however I intend to build a the websocket client with python instead of javascript using this library websocket-client. Here's the client file (client)[https://github.com/Pr0x1m4/infosetd/blob/master/infosetd.py].

I can't seem to get the connection to work, whenever I run the client, I get this output

My question would then be can these two libraries work together or what am I doing wrong?

Flask-SocketIO is not a WebSocket server, it is a Socket.IO server. The client that you need to use needs to understand the Socket.IO protocol, a WebSocket client alone is not enough.

Oh okay, much appreciated, thanks for clarification.

@Pr0x1m4 You might try this: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/socketIO-client

the problem is Google. I was searching flask websocket and got the link to this repo on the first page of results. But this project is not about WEBSOCKET, it works just with socket.io...

Also, I found kennethreitz/flask-sockets#1 - it works good with pure WebSocket.

May be it makes sense to add the line this project DO NOT work with pure WebSocket to the top of README.md file???

ping, @miguelgrinberg
