Fork of socketIO-client that has binary support and socketio 2 support, for use with the sstk codebase.
Here is a socket.io client library for Python. You can use it to write test code for your socket.io server.
This is a forked version to implement the Socket.io 2.x changes. You can find the original here.
Install the package in an isolated environment.
VIRTUAL_ENV=$HOME/.virtualenv # Prepare isolated environment virtualenv $VIRTUAL_ENV # Activate isolated environment source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate # Install package pip install -U socketIO-client-sstk
Activate isolated environment.
VIRTUAL_ENV=$HOME/.virtualenv source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate
Launch your socket.io server.
cd $(python -c "import os, socketIO_client_sstk;\ print(os.path.dirname(socketIO_client_sstk.__file__))") DEBUG=* node tests/serve.js # Start socket.io server in terminal one DEBUG=* node tests/proxy.js # Start proxy server in terminal two nosetests # Run tests in terminal three
For debugging information, run these commands first.

Emit.
from socketIO_client_sstk import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace
with SocketIO('127.0.0.1', 8000, LoggingNamespace) as socketIO:
socketIO.emit('aaa')
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Emit with callback.

Define events.

Define events in a namespace.

socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define standard events.

print('[Connected]')
def on_reconnect(self):
print('[Reconnected]')
def on_disconnect(self):
print('[Disconnected]')

socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define different namespaces on a single socket.
from socketIO_client_sstk 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):

socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Connect via SSL (invisibleroads#54).
from socketIO_client_sstk import SocketIO
# Skip server certificate verification
SocketIO('https://127.0.0.1', verify=False)
# Verify the server certificate
SocketIO('https://127.0.0.1', verify='server.crt')
# Verify the server certificate and encrypt using client certificate
socketIO = SocketIO('https://127.0.0.1', verify='server.crt', cert=(
'client.crt', 'client.key'))
Specify params, headers, cookies, proxies thanks to the requests library.
from socketIO_client_sstk import SocketIO
from base64 import b64encode
SocketIO(
'127.0.0.1', 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_sstk import SocketIO
socketIO = SocketIO('127.0.0.1', 8000)
socketIO.wait()
Don't wait forever.
