How to keep session alive when using async websockets?

[mllamazares]

I have this code to interact with a websocket api using async and websokets python libraries:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys, json
import asyncio
from websockets import connect

class AsyncWebsocket():
    async def __aenter__(self):
        self._conn = connect('wss://ws.myws.com/v2')
        self.websocket = await self._conn.__aenter__()        
        return self

    async def __aexit__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        await self._conn.__aexit__(*args, **kwargs)

    async def send(self, message):
        await self.websocket.send(message)

    async def receive(self):
        return await self.websocket.recv()

class mtest():
    def __init__(self, api_token):
        self.aws        = AsyncWebsocket()
        self.loop       = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        self.api_token  = api_token
        
        self.authorize()

    def authorize(self):
        jdata = self.__async_exec({
                                    'authorize': self.api_token
                                  })

        try:
            print (jdata['email'])
            ret = True
        except:
            ret = False

        return ret

    def sendtest(self):

        jdata = self.__async_exec({
                                    "hello": 1
                                  })

        print (jdata)


    def __async_exec(self, jdata):
        try:
            ret = json.loads(self.loop.run_until_complete(self.__async_send_recieve(jdata)))
        except:
            ret = None

        return ret

    async def __async_send_recieve(self, jdata):
        async with self.aws:
            await self.aws.send(json.dumps(jdata))
            return await self.aws.receive()

So I have the following in main.py:

from webclass import *

a = mtest('12341234')
print (a.sendtest())

The problem is that it doesn't preserve the authorized session, so this is the output:

root@ubupc1:/home/dinocob# python3 test.py 
asd@gmail.com
{'error': {'message': 'Please log in.', 'code': 'AuthorizationRequired'}}

As you see, the login call are working ok, but when calling and sending the hello in sendtest function, the session is not the same.

• Where is destroyed the session?
• How could I preserve it (without drastically
  modifying my class structure)?

@mllamazing please submit your questions to websockets library users/developers, e.g. on https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets
Your questions are not related to (low level) asyncio library, but rather to (high level) websockets library.

Also I can recommend to try to use aiohttp for websockets.
