$ pip install gevent-websocket

$ easy_install gevent-websocket
This also installs the dependencies automatically.
Usage
Gevent Server
At the moment gevent-websocket has one handler based on the Pywsgi gevent Hook up the WebSocketHandler to the Pywsgi Server by setting the handler_class when creating the server instance.
from gevent import pywsgi from geventwebsocket.handler import WebSocketHandler server = pywsgi.WSGIServer(("", 8000), websocket_app, handler_class=WebSocketHandler) server.serve_forever()
The handler enhances your WSGI app with a Websocket environment variable when the browser requests a Websocket connection.
def websocket_app(environ, start_response): if environ["PATH_INFO"] == '/echo': ws = environ["wsgi.websocket"] message = ws.receive() ws.send(message)
Gunicorn Server
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
