A Python implementation of socket.io-emitter

socket.io provides a hook point to easily allow you to emit events to browsers from anywhere so socket.io-python-emitter communicates with socket.io servers through redis.

We made some changes, compatible socket.io-redis 0.2.0 and socket.io 0.1.4.

Install via pip

pip install socket.io-emitter

  io=Emitter({'host': 'localhost', 'port':6379})
  io.Emit('broadcast event','Hello from socket.io-python-emitter')
        

The following options are allowed:

• client: is a redis-py compatible client This argument is optional.
• key: the name of the key to pub/sub events on as prefix (socket.io)
• host: host to connect to redis on (localhost)
• port: port to connect to redis on (6379)

If you don't want to supply a redis client object, and want socket.io-python-emitter to initialize one for you, make sure to supply the host and port options.

Specifies a specific room that you want to emit to.

  io=Emitter({'host': 'localhost', 'port':6379})
  io.In("room-name").Emit("news","Hello from python emitter");

 io=Emitter({'host': 'localhost', 'port':6379})
    
 io.To("room-name").Emit("news","Hello from python emitter");

We are flattening the room parameter from [] and *argv, so you can also send to several rooms like this (both examples are valid):

 io=Emitter({'host': 'localhost', 'port':6379})

 io.To(["room1", "room2"]).Emit("news","Hello from python emitter");
 io.To("room1", "room2").Emit("news","Hello from python emitter");

Specifies a specific namespace that you want to emit to.

 io=Emitter({'host': 'localhost', 'port':6379})
    
 io.Of("/nsp").In("room-name").Emit("news","Hello from python emitter");
