is there a similar python-socketio call method functionality in Flask-socketio?

[alurmtr]

I am using Flask-socketio and sending an emit to the client, and would like to wait for response before continuing in the code flow.

The case scenario is a background python code that needs feedback from user whether code should continue execution. An emit message is sent to the client, which in turns will send a js confirm pop-up window to the front end user. Based on the user selection, an acknowledgement is sent back to the python background process.

The callback option in the flask-socketio emit wouldn't work well. Something like the python-socketio call method would be great to just wait for the response. just wondering if there is such an option in flask-socketio.

Thanks

I never got around to add call(), but I think there shouldn't be a problem exposing it here. There's always a little bit of extra complication in this extension due to the app/request contexts, but I don't think this should be any more complex than it already is for emit() and send(). I'll have a look within the next few days and see if I can add it.

Thanks for looking into it!.
