Easy to use minimal WebSocket Remote Procedure Call library for tornado servers. See online demo.
Also, there is aiohttp WSRPC implementation.
- Initiating call client function from server side.
- Calling the server method from the client.
- Transferring any exceptions from a client side to the server side and vise versa.
- The frontend-library are well done for usage without any modification.
- Fully asynchronous server-side functions.
- Thread-based websocket handler for writing fully-synchronous code (for synchronous database drivers etc.)
- Protected server-side methods (starts with underline never will be call from clients-side directly)
- Asynchronous connection protocol. Server or client can call multiple methods with unpredictable ordering of answers.
Install via pip:
pip install wsrpc-tornado
Install ujson if you want:
pip install ujson

WebSocket.ROUTES['test2'] = lambda *a, **kw: True
# initialize ThreadPool. Needed when using WebSocketThreaded.
