This directory contains example Engine.IO clients that work with the asyncio package of the Python standard library.

A basic application in which the client sends messages to the server and the server responds.

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 Engine.IO server.

These examples work with the server examples of the same name. First run one of the simple.py or latency.py versions from the examples/server directory. On another terminal, then start the corresponding client with one of the following commands:

$ python simple_client.py

or:

$ python latency_client.py
