Websocket Client Library

Project description

# Dataplicity Lomond

Tranquil WebSockets for Python. [Docs](https://lomond.readthedocs.io/)

Lomond is a Websocket client which turns a websocket connection in to
an orderly stream of _events_. No threads or callbacks necessary.

## How to Use

First construct a `WebSocket` object, then iterate over it to generate
an orderly sequence of events.

## Example

The following is a silly example that connects to a websocket server
(in this case a public echo server), and sends a string of text
every 5 seconds.


```python
from lomond import WebSocket

websocket = WebSocket('wss://echo.websocket.org')
for event in websocket:
if event.name == 'poll':
websocket.send_text('Hello, World')
elif event.name == 'text':
print(event.text)
```


## Events

A successful websocket connection will result in a series of events
such as the following:

```
┌──────────────────────┐
│ Connecting │ Contacting server
└──────────────────────┘


┌──────────────────────┐ Connected to server (but
│ Connected │ not yet sent data)
└──────────────────────┘


┌──────────────────────┐ Negotiated Websocket
│ Ready │ handshake
└──────────────────────┘
│ ┌───────────┐
│ │ │
▼ ▼ │
┌──────────────────────┐ │ Send and receive
│ Binary / Text / Poll │──┘ application data
└──────────────────────┘


┌──────────────────────┐ Websocket close
│ Closed │ handshake
└──────────────────────┘


┌──────────────────────┐
│ Disconnected │ Disconnected TCP/IP
└──────────────────────┘ connection to server
```
