socketIO-client
===============
Here is a [socket.io](http://socket.io) client library for Python. You can use it to write test code for your socket.io server.
Installation
------------
Install the package in an isolated environment.
VIRTUAL_ENV=$HOME/.virtualenv
# Prepare isolated environment
virtualenv $VIRTUAL_ENV
# Activate isolated environment
source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate
# Install package
pip install -U socketIO-client
Usage
-----
Activate isolated environment.
VIRTUAL_ENV=$HOME/.virtualenv
source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate
Launch your socket.io server.
node serve-tests.js
For debugging information, run these commands first.
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
Emit.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace
with SocketIO('localhost', 8000, LoggingNamespace) as socketIO:
socketIO.emit('aaa')
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Emit with callback.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace
def on_bbb_response(*args):
print 'on_bbb_response', args
with SocketIO('localhost', 8000, LoggingNamespace) as socketIO:
socketIO.emit('bbb', {'xxx': 'yyy'}, on_bbb_response)
socketIO.wait_for_callbacks(seconds=1)
Define events.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace
def on_aaa_response(*args):
print 'on_aaa_response', args
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, LoggingNamespace)
socketIO.on('aaa_response', on_aaa_response)
socketIO.emit('aaa')
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define events in a namespace.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace
class Namespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_aaa_response(self, *args):
print 'on_aaa_response', args
self.emit('bbb')
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, Namespace)
socketIO.emit('aaa')
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define standard events.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace
class Namespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_connect(self):
print '[Connected]'
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, Namespace)
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define different namespaces on a single socket.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace
class ChatNamespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_aaa_response(self, *args):
print 'on_aaa_response', args
class NewsNamespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_aaa_response(self, *args):
print 'on_aaa_response', args
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000)
chat_namespace = socketIO.define(ChatNamespace, '/chat')
news_namespace = socketIO.define(NewsNamespace, '/news')
chat_namespace.emit('aaa')
news_namespace.emit('aaa')
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Connect via SSL.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO
SocketIO('https://localhost', verify=False)
Specify params, headers, cookies, proxies thanks to the [requests](http://python-requests.org) library.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO
from base64 import b64encode
SocketIO('localhost', 8000,
params={'q': 'qqq'},
headers={'Authorization': 'Basic ' + b64encode('username:password')},
cookies={'a': 'aaa'},
proxies={'https': 'https://proxy.example.com:8080'})
Wait forever.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost')
socketIO.wait()
