Add multi-room and multi-message type support for sockjs-tornado.
The most easy way to install sockjsroom is to use PyPI:
pip install sockjsroom
It will also auto-install tornado and sockjs-tornado. If, for any reason, they are not installed, you can do it manually:
pip install tornado sockjs-tornado
pip install sockjsroom
The alternative method is to clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/Deisss/python-sockjsroom.git
And run setup:
python setup.py install
Will register sockjsroom into your local python repo.
Now you can have not only on_open, on_message and on_close, but almost what you want (except on_message already used internally). Every on_* will be consider as available from outside (from socket call), please refer to example below for seeing it in action.
The system will also do the json convertion for you directly, and helps you threw publishing process by providing:
- publishToRoom send message to everybody (in the same room)
- publishToMyself send message to yourself
- publishToOther send message to everybody else (in the same room)
With those, it may become simple to publish data to subset of people with ease.
As sockjsroom is built on top of sockjs-tornado/tornado couple, the way for starting system, remains the same compare to sockjs-tornado.
You can found an implementation of a simple multi-room chat system here:
To run the server simply do python server.py.
To run the client, put all file in same directory, navigate to this directory and do on the command line python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7979
Navigate with browser to localhost:7979 and you should be able to run the example.
