centrifugepython 0.3.0

centrifuge-python

This is a WebSocket real-time SDK for Centrifugo server (and any Centrifuge-based server) on top of Python asyncio library.

[!TIP]
If you are looking for Centrifugo server API client – check out pycent instead.

Before starting to work with this library check out Centrifugo client SDK API specification as it contains common information about Centrifugal real-time SDK behavior. This SDK supports all major features of Centrifugo client protocol - see SDK feature matrix.
Install
pip install centrifuge-python

Then in your code:
from centrifuge import Client

See example code and how to run it locally.
JSON vs Protobuf protocols
By default, SDK uses JSON protocol. If you want to use Protobuf protocol instead then pass use_protobuf=True option.
When using JSON protocol:

all payloads (data to publish, connect/subscribe data) you pass to the library are encoded to JSON internally using json.dumps before sending to server. So make sure you pass only JSON-serializable data to the library.
all payloads received from server are decoded to Python objects using json.loads internally before passing to your code.

When using Protobuf protocol:

all payloads you pass to the library must be bytes or None if optional. If you pass non-bytes data – exception will be raised.
all payloads received from the library will be bytes or None if not present.
don't forget that when using Protobuf protocol you can still have JSON payloads - just encode them to bytes before passing to the library.

Callbacks should not block
Event callbacks are called by SDK using await internally, the websocket connection read loop is blocked for the time SDK waits for the callback to be executed. This means that if you need to perform long operations in callbacks consider moving the work to a separate coroutine/task to return fast and continue reading data from the websocket.
Run example
To run example, first start Centrifugo with config like this:
{
"token_hmac_secret_key": "secret",
"namespaces": [
{
"name": "example",
"presence": true,
"history_size": 300,
"history_ttl": "300s",
"join_leave": true,
"force_push_join_leave": true,
"allow_publish_for_subscriber": true,
"allow_presence_for_subscriber": true,
"allow_history_for_subscriber": true
}
]
}

And then:
python -m venv env
. env/bin/activate
make dev
python example.py

Run tests
To run tests, first start Centrifugo server:
docker pull centrifugo/centrifugo:v5
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -e CENTRIFUGO_TOKEN_HMAC_SECRET_KEY="secret" -e CENTRIFUGO_PRESENCE=1 \
-e CENTRIFUGO_JOIN_LEAVE=true -e CENTRIFUGO_FORCE_PUSH_JOIN_LEAVE=true \
-e CENTRIFUGO_HISTORY_TTL=300s -e CENTRIFUGO_HISTORY_SIZE=100 \
-e CENTRIFUGO_FORCE_RECOVERY=true -e CENTRIFUGO_USER_SUBSCRIBE_TO_PERSONAL=true \
-e CENTRIFUGO_ALLOW_PUBLISH_FOR_SUBSCRIBER=true -e CENTRIFUGO_ALLOW_PRESENCE_FOR_SUBSCRIBER=true \
-e CENTRIFUGO_ALLOW_HISTORY_FOR_SUBSCRIBER=true centrifugo/centrifugo:v5 centrifugo

And then (from cloned repo root):
python -m venv env
. env/bin/activate
make dev
make test
