+Socket.IO Client Examples
+=========================
+
+This directory contains several example Socket.IO client applications,
+organized by directory:
+
+threads
+-------
+
+Examples that use standard Python thread concurrency.
+
+asyncio
+-------
+
+Examples that use Python's `asyncio` package for concurrency.

+Socket.IO Threading Examples
+============================
+
+This directory contains example Socket.IO clients that work with the
+`threading` package of the Python standard library.
+
+latency_client.py
+-----------------
+
+In this application the client sends *ping* messages to the server, which are
+responded by the server with a *pong*. The client measures the time it takes
+for each of these exchanges.
+
+This is an ideal application to measure the performance of the different
+asynchronous modes supported by the Socket.IO server.
+
+Running the Examples
+--------------------
+
+These examples work with the server examples of the same name. First run one
+of the `latency.py` versions from the `examples/server/wsgi` directory. On
+another terminal, then start the corresponding client::
+
+    $ python latency_client.py
