socketIO-client-nexus
Here is a socket.io client library for Python. You can use it to write test code for your socket.io server.
This is a forked version to implement the Socket.io 2.x changes. You can find the original here.
Installation
Install the package in an isolated environment.
VIRTUAL_ENV=$HOME/.virtualenv # Prepare isolated environment virtualenv $VIRTUAL_ENV # Activate isolated environment source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate # Install package pip install -U socketIO-client-nexus
Usage
Activate isolated environment.
VIRTUAL_ENV=$HOME/.virtualenv source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate
Launch your socket.io server.
cd $(python -c "import os, socketIO_client_nexus;\ print(os.path.dirname(socketIO_client_nexus.__file__))") DEBUG=* node tests/serve.js # Start socket.io server in terminal one DEBUG=* node tests/proxy.js # Start proxy server in terminal two nosetests # Run tests in terminal three
For debugging information, run these commands first.

Emit.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace with SocketIO('localhost', 8000, LoggingNamespace) as socketIO: socketIO.emit('aaa') socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Emit with callback.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace def on_bbb_response(*args): print('on_bbb_response', args) with SocketIO('localhost', 8000, LoggingNamespace) as socketIO: socketIO.emit('bbb', {'xxx': 'yyy'}, on_bbb_response) socketIO.wait_for_callbacks(seconds=1)
Define events.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace def on_connect(): print('connect') def on_disconnect(): print('disconnect') def on_reconnect(): print('reconnect') def on_aaa_response(*args): print('on_aaa_response', args) socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, LoggingNamespace) socketIO.on('connect', on_connect) socketIO.on('disconnect', on_disconnect) socketIO.on('reconnect', on_reconnect) # Listen socketIO.on('aaa_response', on_aaa_response) socketIO.emit('aaa') socketIO.emit('aaa') socketIO.wait(seconds=1) # Stop listening socketIO.off('aaa_response') socketIO.emit('aaa') socketIO.wait(seconds=1) # Listen only once socketIO.once('aaa_response', on_aaa_response) socketIO.emit('aaa') # Activate aaa_response socketIO.emit('aaa') # Ignore socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define events in a namespace.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO, BaseNamespace class Namespace(BaseNamespace): def on_aaa_response(self, *args): print('on_aaa_response', args) self.emit('bbb') socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, Namespace) socketIO.emit('aaa') socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define standard events.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO, BaseNamespace class Namespace(BaseNamespace): def on_connect(self): print('[Connected]') def on_reconnect(self): print('[Reconnected]') def on_disconnect(self): print('[Disconnected]') socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, Namespace) socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Define different namespaces on a single socket.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO, BaseNamespace class ChatNamespace(BaseNamespace): def on_aaa_response(self, *args): print('on_aaa_response', args) class NewsNamespace(BaseNamespace): def on_aaa_response(self, *args): print('on_aaa_response', args) socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000) chat_namespace = socketIO.define(ChatNamespace, '/chat') news_namespace = socketIO.define(NewsNamespace, '/news') chat_namespace.emit('aaa') news_namespace.emit('aaa') socketIO.wait(seconds=1)
Connect via SSL (invisibleroads#54).
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO # Skip server certificate verification SocketIO('https://localhost', verify=False) # Verify the server certificate SocketIO('https://localhost', verify='server.crt') # Verify the server certificate and encrypt using client certificate socketIO = SocketIO('https://localhost', verify='server.crt', cert=( 'client.crt', 'client.key'))
Specify params, headers, cookies, proxies thanks to the requests library.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO from base64 import b64encode SocketIO( 'localhost', 8000, params={'q': 'qqq'}, headers={'Authorization': 'Basic ' + b64encode('username:password')}, cookies={'a': 'aaa'}, proxies={'https': 'https://proxy.example.com:8080'})
Wait forever.
from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000) socketIO.wait()
Don't wait forever.
from requests.exceptions import ConnectionError from socketIO_client_nexus import SocketIO try: socket = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, wait_for_connection=False) socket.wait() except ConnectionError: print('The server is down. Try again later.')
