Here is a socket.io client library for Python. You can use it to write test code for your socket.io server.
Thanks to rod for the StackOverflow question and answer on which this code is based.
Thanks to liris for websocket-client and to guille for the socket.io specification.
Thanks to Paul Kienzle, Josh VanderLinden, Ian Fitzpatrick for submitting code to expand support of the socket.io protocol.

from socketIO_client import SocketIO
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000)
socketIO.emit('aaa', {'bbb': 'ccc'})
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)Emit with callback. :
from socketIO_client import SocketIO
def on_response(*args):
print args
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000)
socketIO.emit('aaa', {'bbb': 'ccc'}, on_response)
socketIO.wait(forCallbacks=True)Define events. :
from socketIO_client import SocketIO
def on_ddd(*args):
print args
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000)
socketIO.on('ddd', on_ddd)
socketIO.wait()Define events in a namespace. :
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace
class Namespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_ddd(self, *args):
self.socketIO.emit('eee', {'fff': 'ggg'})
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, Namespace)
socketIO.wait()Define standard events. :
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace
class Namespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_connect(self, socketIO):
print '[Connected]'
def on_disconnect(self):
print '[Disconnected]'
def on_error(self, name, message):
print '[Error] %s: %s' % (name, message)
def on_message(self, id, message):
print '[Message] %s: %s' % (id, message)
socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, Namespace)
socketIO.wait()Define different behavior for different channels on a single socket. :
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace
class MainNamespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_aaa(self, *args):
print 'aaa', args
class ChatNamespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_bbb(self, *args):
print 'bbb', args
class NewsNamespace(BaseNamespace):
def on_ccc(self, *args):
print 'ccc', args
mainSocket = SocketIO('localhost', 8000, MainNamespace)
chatSocket = mainSocket.connect('/chat', ChatNamespace)
newsSocket = mainSocket.connect('/news', NewsNamespace)
