socket.io Web2Py

[Shiv]

Hi Everyone,

Has any one used the socket.io with web2py, please share your experience.

My requirement is 

On click action, open a socket and run a TCL script and communication with same.

Once the TCL script is done the close the socket. I have to run multiple such TCL script on multiple ports parallel y.

Tried with Gevent,Tornado and struggling little bit. Thought of getting you guys experience also.

Thanks in advance

Shiv

socket.io is server side javascript that doesn't have anything in common with web2py

Here's a three-part blog series on using Tornado, web2py's comet_messaging.py, and Socket.IO for async communication: http://greg.thehellings.com/2011/04/web2py-websockets-and-socket-io-part-i-basic-display/ (link to Part 2 at the bottom).

I suppose gevent-socketio (https://bitbucket.org/Jeffrey/gevent-socketio) could be made to work with web2py as well (apparently works with Django: http://codysoyland.com/2011/feb/6/evented-django-part-one-socketio-and-gevent/).

I am able to send socket.io events with this code:  https://gist.github.com/1375505

It's based off an answer I found on Stack Overflow.

With the code in that gist, you should be able to send one event to your node.js server.  If you have a long running Python script, you'll need to send heartbeat packets (with sio.heartbeat() ) every 15 seconds or you'll lose your connection to node.js.

This particular example is from a photobooth application I'm working on called PhotoPops.  http://myphotopops.com  There isn't much there right now as I just used it in public for the first time last Friday at a local event.  I think I'll make that Github repo public when I feel a little more confident about it.
