This directory contains example Socket.IO applications that are compatible with the Tornado framework. These applications require Tornado 5 and Python 3.5 or later.
A basic "kitchen sink" type application that allows the user to experiment with most of the available features of the Socket.IO server.
A port of the latency application included in the official Engine.IO Javascript server. In this application the client sends ping messages to the server, which are responded by the server with a pong. The client measures the time it takes for each of these exchanges and plots these in real time to the page.
This is an ideal application to measure the performance of the different asynchronous modes supported by the Socket.IO server.
This is a very simple application based on a JavaScript example of the same name.
To run these examples, create a virtual environment, install the requirements and then run one of the following:
$ python app.py
$ python latency.py
$ python fiddle.py
You can then access the application from your web browser at
http://localhost:5000.
