Since I have been doing a bit of research in that field lately (Jan, '12), the most promising client is actually : WebSocket for Python. It support a normal socket that you can call like this :

ws = EchoClient('http://localhost:9000/ws')

The client can be Threaded or based on IOLoop from Tornado project. This will allow you to create a multi concurrent connection client. Useful if you want to run stress tests.

The client also exposes the onmessage, opened and closed methods. (WebSocket style).

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
