-Python implementation of the `Socket.IO <https://github.com/Automattic/socket.io>`_
-realtime server.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Fully compatible with the 
-  `Javascript <https://github.com/Automattic/socket.io-client>`_,
-  `Swift <https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-swift>`_,
-  `C++ <https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-cpp>`_ and
-  `Java <https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-java>`_ official
-  Socket.IO clients, plus any third party clients that comply with the
-  Socket.IO specification.
-- Compatible with Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+.
-- Supports large number of clients even on modest hardware when used with an
-  asynchronous server based on `asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html>`_
-  (`sanic <http://sanic.readthedocs.io/>`_, `aiohttp <http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/>`_
-  or `tornado <http://www.tornadoweb.org/>`_),
-  `eventlet <http://eventlet.net/>`_ or `gevent <http://gevent.org/>`_. For
-  development and testing, any WSGI compliant multi-threaded server can also be
-  used.
-- Includes a WSGI middleware that integrates Socket.IO traffic with standard
-  WSGI applications.
-- Broadcasting of messages to all connected clients, or to subsets of them
-  assigned to "rooms".
-- Optional support for multiple servers, connected through a messaging queue
-  such as Redis or RabbitMQ.
-- Send messages to clients from external processes, such as Celery workers or
-  auxiliary scripts.
-- Event-based architecture implemented with decorators that hides the details
-  of the protocol.
-- Support for HTTP long-polling and WebSocket transports.
-- Support for XHR2 and XHR browsers.
-- Support for text and binary messages.
-- Support for gzip and deflate HTTP compression.
-- Configurable CORS responses, to avoid cross-origin problems with browsers.

-Example
--------
-
-The following example application uses the `aiohttp <http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/>`_
-framework for asyncio:
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    from aiohttp import web
-    import socketio
-
-    sio = socketio.AsyncServer()
-    app = web.Application()
-    sio.attach(app)
-
-    async def index(request):
-        """Serve the client-side application."""
-        with open('index.html') as f:
-            return web.Response(text=f.read(), content_type='text/html')
-
-    @sio.on('connect', namespace='/chat')
-    def connect(sid, environ):
-        print("connect ", sid)
-
-    @sio.on('chat message', namespace='/chat')
-    async def message(sid, data):
-        print("message ", data)
-        await sio.emit('reply', room=sid)
-
-    @sio.on('disconnect', namespace='/chat')
-    def disconnect(sid):
-        print('disconnect ', sid)
-
-    app.router.add_static('/static', 'static')
-    app.router.add_get('/', index)
-
-    if __name__ == '__main__':
-        web.run_app(app)
-
-And below is a similar example, using Flask to serve the client application.
-This example is compatible with Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+:
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    import socketio
-    import eventlet
-    import eventlet.wsgi
-    from flask import Flask, render_template
-
-    sio = socketio.Server()
-    app = Flask(__name__)
-
-    @app.route('/')
-    def index():
-        """Serve the client-side application."""
-        return render_template('index.html')
-
-    @sio.on('connect', namespace='/chat')
-    def connect(sid, environ):
-        print("connect ", sid)
-
-    @sio.on('chat message', namespace='/chat')
-    def message(sid, data):
-        print("message ", data)
-        sio.emit('reply', room=sid)
-
-    @sio.on('disconnect', namespace='/chat')
-    def disconnect(sid):
-        print('disconnect ', sid)
-
-    if __name__ == '__main__':
-        # wrap Flask application with engineio's middleware
-        app = socketio.Middleware(sio, app)
-
-        # deploy as an eventlet WSGI server
-        eventlet.wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(('', 8000)), app)
