How to send message on python-socketio


The API documentation (https://python-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html) provides examples of the server and client. But if you run them, you will not start messaging. And I'm not sure how to set it up.

How do I set up messaging so I can output their body through the print function?

client.py

import socketio

sio = socketio.Client()


@sio.event
def connect():
    print('connection established')


@sio.event
def my_message(data):
    print('message received with ', data)
    sio.emit('my response', {'response': 'my response'})


@sio.event
def disconnect():
    print('disconnected from server')


sio.connect('http://localhost:5000')
sio.wait()

server.py

import eventlet
import socketio


sio = socketio.Server()
app = socketio.WSGIApp(sio, static_files={
    '/': {'content_type': 'text/html', 'filename': 'index.html'}
})


@sio.event
def connect(sid, environ):
    print('connect ', sid)
    my_message(sid, {'Test': 'Message'})


@sio.event
def my_message(sid, data):
    sio.send(data)
    print('Send message ', data)


@sio.event
def disconnect(sid):
    print('disconnect ', sid)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    eventlet.wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 5000)), app)

Solution

  • You established a connection. But you didn't print the message. In the client side, instead of this:

    @sio.event
    def my_message(data):
        print('message received with ', data)
        sio.emit('my response', {'response': 'my response'})
    

    Use that:

    @sio.event
    def message(data):
        print('message received with ', data)
        sio.emit('my response', {'response': 'my response'})
