Autobahn has a good websocket client implementation for Python as well as some good examples. I tested the following with a Tornado WebSocket server and it worked.
from twisted.internet import reactor
from autobahn.websocket import WebSocketClientFactory, WebSocketClientProtocol, connectWS
class EchoClientProtocol(WebSocketClientProtocol):
def sendHello(self):
self.sendMessage("Hello, world!")
def onOpen(self):
self.sendHello()
def onMessage(self, msg, binary):
print "Got echo: " + msg
reactor.callLater(1, self.sendHello)
if __name__ == '__main__':
factory = WebSocketClientFactory("ws://localhost:9000")
factory.protocol = EchoClientProtocol
connectWS(factory)
reactor.run()
