Question

I’m trying to build an application with a websocket like functionality
I’m using python (will be deployed on heroku with gunicorn)

So far my search led me to Bottle. A replacement for my current microframework – Flask.
Bottle allows websocket functionality. http://bottlepy.org/docs/stable/async.html

My question is: Could I use the javascript part of socket.io (or something similar) to connect to Bottle? If yes, how?

Thank you.

If you really want to get started, take a look at the examples in here:

• https://github.com/abourget/gevent-socketio/tree/master/examples

There’s also a bottle example up here:

• https://github.com/reinbach/gevent-socketio-example/blob/master/app.py

You might want to start with the documentation at this address:

• https://gevent-socketio.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Hope this helps 🙂
