signalr-client 0.0.5

Simple SignalR client for Python

Python client proxy for SignalR.

Requirements

Install the following prerequisites using pip:

• gevent

• sseclient

• websocket-client

The gevent package in turn requires Python headers. In Debian based distributions (such as Ubuntu and Raspbian) they are called python-dev.

Compatibility

Only compatible with Python 2, not Python 3.

Usage

Here is sample usage:

#create a connection
connection = Connection(url, session)

#start a connection
connection.start()

#add a handler to process notifications to the connection
connection.handlers += lambda data: print 'Connection: new notification.', data

#get chat hub
chat_hub = connection.hub('chat')

#create new chat message handler
def message_received(message):
    print 'Hub: New message.', message

#receive new chat messages from the hub
chat_hub.client.on('message_received', message_received)

#send a new message to the hub
chat_hub.server.invoke('send_message', 'Hello!')

#do not receive new messages
chat_hub.client.off('message_received', message_received)

#close the connection
connection.close()
