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.

import logging
logging.getLogger('socketIO-client-nexus').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.basicConfig()

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 __init__(self, io, path, id):
        self.id = id
    def on_aaa_response(self, *args):
        print(self.id + ': 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', 'myId')
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.')
