A Websockets IRC-style chat server and client. It is written purely as a demo of Websockets functionality and probably servces no useful purpose!
The server is written in Python 3 using asyncio
and the websockets
library.
The client is written in HTML5 and uses Bootstrap 3.
If you are using a Python version below 3.4, you will need to manually install
the asyncio
library as it is not included.
-
Install dependencies for the server (preferably in a virtualenv):
$ pip install -r server/requirements.txt
-
Run the server on port 8080:
$ python3 server/run.py
By default the server listens on 0.0.0.0:8080
. If this is not desired, edit server/run.py:LISTEN_ADDRESS
and html5client/ws.js:server
.
-
Fire up the built-in Python web server and load the client from there:
$ cd html5client $ python3 -m http.server $ $BROWSER 'http://localhost:8000/'
