pusherclient

pusherclient is a python module for handling pusher websockets

Installation

Simply run "python setup.py install".

This module depends on websocket-client module available from: http://github.com/liris/websocket-client

Example

Example of using this pusher client to consume websockets::

import pusherclient

# Add a logging handler so we can see the raw communication data
import logging
root = logging.getLogger()
root.setLevel(logging.INFO)
ch = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
root.addHandler(ch)

global pusher

# We can't subscribe until we've connected, so we use a callback handler
# to subscribe when able
def connect_handler(data):
    channel = pusher.subscribe('mychannel')
    channel.bind('myevent', callback)

pusher = pusherclient.Pusher(appkey)
pusher.connection.bind('pusher:connection_established', connect_handler)
pusher.connect()

while True:
    # Do other things in the meantime here...
    time.sleep(1)

Sending pusher events to a channel can be done simply using the pusher client supplied by pusher. You can get it here: http://github.com/newbamboo/pusher_client_python

import pusher
pusher.app_id = app_id
pusher.key = appkey

p = pusher.Pusher()
p['mychannel'].trigger('myevent', 'mydata')

Thanks

Built using the websocket-client module from http://github.com/liris/websocket-client. The ruby gem by Logan Koester which provides a similar service was also very helpful for a reference. Take a look at it here: http://github.com/logankoester/pusher-client.
