This repository contains a pure-Python implementation of a WebSocket protocol
stack. It's written from the ground up to be embeddable in whatever program you
choose to use, ensuring that you can communicate via WebSockets, as defined in
`RFC6455 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>`_, regardless of your programming
paradigm.

This repository does not provide a parsing layer, a network layer, or any rules
about concurrency. Instead, it's a purely in-memory solution, defined in terms
of data actions and WebSocket frames. RFC6455 and Compression Extensions for
WebSocket via `RFC7692 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7692>`_ are fully
supported.

wsproto supports Python 3.6.1 or higher.

To install it, just run:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install wsproto


Usage
=====

Let's assume you have some form of network socket available. wsproto client
connections automatically generate a HTTP request to initiate the WebSocket
handshake. To create a WebSocket client connection:

.. code-block:: python

  from wsproto import WSConnection, ConnectionType
  from wsproto.events import Request

  ws = WSConnection(ConnectionType.CLIENT)
  ws.send(Request(host='echo.websocket.org', target='/'))

To create a WebSocket server connection:

.. code-block:: python

  from wsproto.connection import WSConnection, ConnectionType

  ws = WSConnection(ConnectionType.SERVER)

Every time you send a message, or call a ping, or simply if you receive incoming
data, wsproto might respond with some outgoing data that you have to send:

.. code-block:: python

  some_socket.send(ws.bytes_to_send())

Both connection types need to receive incoming data:

.. code-block:: python

  ws.receive_data(some_byte_string_of_data)

And wsproto will issue events if the data contains any WebSocket messages or state changes:

.. code-block:: python

  for event in ws.events():
      if isinstance(event, Request):
          # only client connections get this event
          ws.send(AcceptConnection())
      elif isinstance(event, CloseConnection):
          # guess nobody wants to talk to us any more...
      elif isinstance(event, TextMessage):
          print('We got text!', event.data)
      elif isinstance(event, BytesMessage):
          print('We got bytes!', event.data)

Take a look at our docs for a `full list of events
<https://wsproto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#events>`!

Testing
=======

It passes the autobahn test suite completely and strictly in both client and
server modes and using permessage-deflate.

If you want to run the compliance tests, go into the compliance directory and
then to test client mode, in one shell run the Autobahn test server:

.. code-block:: console

    $ wstest -m fuzzingserver -s ws-fuzzingserver.json

And in another shell run the test client:

.. code-block:: console

    $ python test_client.py

And to test server mode, run the test server:

.. code-block:: console

    $ python test_server.py

And in another shell run the Autobahn test client:

.. code-block:: console

    $ wstest -m fuzzingclient -s ws-fuzzingclient.json
