  WebSocket client for Python

  

Websockets are (usually) for server to browser communication. The server hosts a WebSocket server, and clients can open a connection to that server. This is popular now mostly because it is faster and less resource-hogging than older ways of solving the problem, like long-polling/COMET. It is possible to connect 2 servers using websockets, but that is not usually what they are used for.
