Requirements
Python
Tested environments:
- Python 2.7+
- Python 3.3+
- PyPy 1.8+
- Android 2.3 via SL4A
Note
ws4py will not try to automatically install dependencies and will
let you decide which one you need.
Client
ws4py comes with three client implementations:
- Built-in: That client is solely based on the Python stdlib, it uses a thread to run the inner processing loop.
- Tornado: The Tornado client requires Tornado 2.0+
- gevent: The gevent client requires gevent 0.13.6 or 1.0.0-dev
Server
ws4py comes with three server implementations:
- Built-in: The server relies on the built-in wsgiref module.
- CherryPy: The CherryPy server requires 3.2.2+
- gevent: The gevent server requires gevent 0.13.6 or 1.0.0-dev
Testing
ws4py uses the Autobahn functional test suite to ensure it respects the standard. You
must install it to run that test suite against ws4py.
