🚀 WebSocket Lab: Exploring Real-Time Communication with Python

🎯 About the Project

This repository serves as a learning lab for understanding and implementing WebSocket services using Python and the excellent websockets library. The primary goal is to follow the official documentation, build practical examples, and solidify the core concepts of bidirectional, real-time web communication.

Here, we explore everything from a basic echo server to more advanced features like broadcasting messages to multiple connected clients. This project is a hands-on journey into the world of asynchronous, event-driven communication.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python 3.8+: The core programming language.

• websockets: A high-performance and easy-to-use library for building WebSocket clients and servers.

• asyncio: Python's standard library for writing concurrent code using the async/await syntax.

⚙️ Getting Started

Follow these steps to get the examples up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites Make sure you have Python 3.8 or newer installed.
