mease 0.2.0

Mease: Twisted/Autobahn websocket server with an easy callback registry

Websocket server using Twisted/Autobahn with an easy to use callback registry mechanism

See django-mease, django-mease-example or flask-mease-example for working examples.

Installation

Use pip to install the latest mease version :

pip install mease

mease comes with two backends :

Redis

To use Redis backend, install these dependencies :

sudo apt-get install redis-server
pip install redis

Refer to the Redis documentation to configure your server.

RabbitMQ

To use RabbitMQ backend, install these dependencies :

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
pip install kombu

Refer to the RabbitMQ documentation to configure your server.

Quickstart

Create a file where you can write your callbacks and register them :

from mease import Mease
from mease.backends.redis import RedisBackend
# OR from mease.backends.rabbitmq import RabbitMQBackend

from uuid import uuid4

mease = Mease(RedisBackend)

@mease.opener
def example_opener(client, clients_list):
    # Do stuff on client connection
    client.storage['uuid'] = str(uuid4())

@mease.closer
def example_closer(client, clients_list):
    # Do stuff on client disconnection
    print("Client {uuid} disconnected".format(uuid=client.storage.get('uuid')))

@mease.receiver(json=True)
def example_receiver(client, clients_list, message):
    # Do stuff on incoming client message
    pass

@mease.sender(routing='mease.demo')
def example_sender(routing, clients_list, my_tuple):
    # Do stuff on outgoing message
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Start websocket server
    mease.run_websocket_server()

Remember to run the websocket server from the mease instance where you registered your callbacks.

In your code, you can now call the mease publish method to send a message to websocket clients :

from mease import Mease
from mease.backends.redis import RedisBackend

mease = Mease(RedisBackend)

# ...

mease.publish('mease.demo', my_tuple=("Hello", "World"))

That’s it ! You are now able to send messages from your web server to your websocket server in a cool way !
