================
gevent-websocket
================

`gevent-websocket`_ is a WebSocket library for the gevent_ networking library.

Features include:

- Integration on both socket level or using an abstract interface.
- RPC and PubSub framework using `WAMP`_ (WebSocket Application
  Messaging Protocol).
- Easily extendible using a simple WebSocket protocol plugin API


::

    from geventwebsocket import WebSocketServer, WebSocketApplication, Resource

    class EchoApplication(WebSocketApplication):
        def on_open(self):
            print "Connection opened"

        def on_message(self, message):
            self.ws.send(message)

        def on_close(self, reason):
            print reason

    WebSocketServer(
        ('', 8000),
        Resource({'/': EchoApplication})
    ).serve_forever()

or a low level implementation::

    from gevent import pywsgi
    from geventwebsocket.handler import WebSocketHandler

    def websocket_app(environ, start_response):
        if environ["PATH_INFO"] == '/echo':
            ws = environ["wsgi.websocket"]
            message = ws.receive()
            ws.send(message)

    server = pywsgi.WSGIServer(("", 8000), websocket_app,
        handler_class=WebSocketHandler)
    server.serve_forever()

More examples can be found in the ``examples`` directory. Hopefully more
documentation will be available soon.

Installation
------------

The easiest way to install gevent-websocket is directly from PyPi_ using pip or
setuptools by running the commands below::

    $ pip install gevent-websocket


Gunicorn Worker
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Using Gunicorn it is even more easy to start a server. Only the
`websocket_app` from the previous example is required to start the server.
Start Gunicorn using the following command and worker class to enable WebSocket
funtionality for the application.

::

    gunicorn -k "geventwebsocket.gunicorn.workers.GeventWebSocketWorker" wsgi:websocket_app

Performance
^^^^^^^^^^^

`gevent-websocket`_ is pretty fast, but can be accelerated further by
installing `wsaccel <https://github.com/methane/wsaccel>`_ and `ujson` or `simplejson`::

    $ pip install wsaccel ujson

`gevent-websocket`_ automatically detects ``wsaccell`` and uses the Cython
implementation for UTF8 validation and later also frame masking and
demasking.
