Azure Web PubSub

Python SDK for Azure Web PubSub

Disclaimer

Unless you need something decently simple (e.g. server-to-client one-way communication), I think Socket.IO may be a better option. Azure Web PubSub has a managed service for Socket.IO (read more here), or you can host your own server with python-socketio

Installation

pip install pubsub-az

Authorization

• PUBSUB_CONN_STR (Connection string in the portal)

Environment (.env)

For convenience, you can set os.environ["PUBSUB_CONN_STR"] and can skip specifying it on every call.

E.g., create a .env file:

PUBSUB_CONN_STR="<PUBSUB_CONN_STR>"

Then load it before importing

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
import pubsub_az as pz

pz.service(hub='<hub>') # just works!

CLI

Basic listener priting messages received. To install, run:

pip install pubsub-az[client]

Then, to execute from the terminal:

pubsub-client --user "<user-id>" --hub "<hub>" --groups "<g1>" "<g2>" # ...
