websocket-client connection（ Long-lived ）

参考：https://pypi.python.org/pypi/websocket-client/

import websocket
import thread
import time

def on_message(ws, message):
    print message

def on_error(ws, error):
    print error

def on_close(ws):
    print "### closed ###"

def on_open(ws):
    def run(*args):
        for i in range(3):
            time.sleep(1)
            ws.send("Hello %d" % i)
        time.sleep(1)
        ws.close()
        print "thread terminating..."
    thread.start_new_thread(run, ())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    websocket.enableTrace(True)
    ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("ws://echo.websocket.org/",
                              on_message = on_message,
                              on_error = on_error,
                              on_close = on_close)
    ws.on_open = on_open
    ws.run_forever()

Short-lived one-off send-receive

This is if you want to communicate a short message and disconnect immediately when done.

from websocket import create_connection
ws = create_connection("ws://echo.websocket.org/")
print "Sending 'Hello, World'..."
ws.send("Hello, World")
print "Sent"
print "Receiving..."
result =  ws.recv()
print "Received '%s'" % result
ws.close()

If you want to customize socket options, set sockopt.

sockopt example

from websocket import create_connection
ws = create_connection("ws://echo.websocket.org/",
                        sockopt=((socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_NODELAY),))

　　

More advanced: Custom class

You can also write your own class for the connection, if you want to handle the nitty-gritty details yourself.

from websocket import create_connection, WebSocket
class MyWebSocket(WebSocket):
    def recv_frame(self):
        frame = super().recv_frame()
        print('yay! I got this frame: ', frame)
        return frame

ws = create_connection("ws://echo.websocket.org/",
                        sockopt=((socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_NODELAY),), class_=MyWebSocket)

ws.run_forever(sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})

create_connection sample

ws = websocket.create_connection("wss://echo.websocket.org",
  sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})

WebSocket sample

ws = websocket.WebSocket(sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})
ws.connect("wss://echo.websocket.org")

How to disable hostname verification.

Please set sslopt to {“check_hostname”: False}. (since v0.18.0)
