Introduction

This project/package aims to provide a simple python interface to the wica-http server. Check out the async branch to get the async version of the package

Installation

Install with pip

pip install wica

Quick-start Guide

import asyncio
import time

from wica import WicaStream

    """A simple example of how to use WicaStream.

    In this example we are using asyncio, but you could use any other concurrency or parallel processing package,
    you just need the ability to interrupt the stream somehow!
    Check out the async version of this package!
