[Twisted-Python] Protocol for socket.io

[Sofiane Akermoun]

Hello,
I looked for something that fit your needs few days ago and i came
across txsockjs and i create a server based on twisted and the
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/txsockjs module and i made it in few
minutes. really good stuff.
Of course the client part have to be written in javascript with sockjs
object/api.
If you are sure that you just need websocket and websocket only, there
are also some pure "websocket" implementation in twisted, or you can
probably write your own following the RFC.

For you information there is a kind of flame war on socket.io vs
sockjs, i am not sure which one won the fight, but from my read, and
only from what i have read, sockjs is more promissing and more
supported and more actively maintained.

But as i said and based on my experience and preference only, i did a
lot of research about what i could use to write web app with websocket
support + ajax/comet/long polling technologies and i choose txsockjs.

regards.
