Remove the stargate package from Pyramid's add-on list?

[Laurent DAVERIO]

Hello list,

I've been trying to use the stargate module, listed here:

https://trypyramid.com/resources-extending-pyramid.html

"""
Stargate
Stargate is a package for adding WebSockets support to Pyramid
applications using the excellent eventlet library for long running
connections.
Maintainers: boothead
PyPI VCS docs
"""

This was all very promising, but PyPI says the current version, 0.4 was
last updated in 2011, and the provided example
(http://stargate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) is broken. My
Firefox 52 seems to be sending different header values from what
Stargate expects, and the websocket communication never happens. The
websocket protocol has probably evolved in 6 years...

Incidentally, several months ago, a colleague of mine had been
suggesting Autobahn (http://autobahn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), but
Stargate looked much simpler to implement, thanks to the Pyramid
integration. Any recommendations welcome :)

Laurent.

I don't know of an alternative, but other folks might.

Sometimes forks get maintained, but it looks like that has not
happened in this case.
https://github.com/boothead/stargate/network/members

As far as listings of add-on on trypyramid.com, there are three statuses:

Pylons Project
Community
Unsupported

We move add-ons to "Unsupported" when either the maintainer
declares it so or after contact has been attempted through its
support channels and there is no response after a sufficient
period of time.

Whenever an update is needed anywhere on
https://trypyramid.com/, submit an issue:

Thanks for the reply, Steve! I've noted the info, and I'll still keep an
eye on that project, because it's the kind of function I'd like to add
to some of my sites some day.

Thanks and regards,

Laurent.
