I made a documentation driven web-socket framework
The framework is driven by the AsyncAPI specification, built on top of Flask-SocketIO. and inspired by Connexion.

Facing An Issue in Websockets
I don't know what module you're using for websockets, but looking at an issue posted on one of them, the thread should periodically sleep in order for I/O to function properly.

Flask socketio blocked by something during time.sleep
I'm running a Flask server on my local machine and am using it to pull data from a serial port and display it in real time on a webpage with Flask-socketio. I followed the example here and am encountering an interesting behavior. I was able to replicate the results of the example, but when I alter the background_thread function to include reading and parsing data from the serial port, something seems to be blocking the socket from sending the data. My code correctly establishes a socket and opens the connection, and can even emit messages correctly at the beginning of the thread function, but once it hits a time.sleep(5), emitting doesn't work anymore. Here's the original thread function that works (and includes a time.sleep()!):

Show logs in real time in browser
In terms of streaming anything to a client, I would suggest websocket functionality. There's a Flask-SocketIO package that can be used on the server side, and then on the client side you could use the built-in Javascript websocket functionality, or the Socket.IO library. That would allow you to push messages/data in both directions as needed... the server could just push data to the client whenever there's data to be pushed, and the client could handle that as needed.
