How to use

  1. Install G2O WebSocket module to your server
  2. Install JSON module to your server
  3. Download include/ folder and import the Squirrel part of the library:
    <import src="include/pyg2o.xml" />
    
  4. Install python library to your application
    pip install pyg2o
    
  5. Launch websocket client in your Squirrel scripts
    // PyG2O(url, silent, max_reconnect_attempts)
    // silent - disable information prints
    // max_reconnect_attempts - maximum reconnect attempts if server will stop the connection (0 - infinite attempts). This value doesn't reset on connection
    
    // Start server
    local srv = PyG2O("ws://localhost:8080", false, 15)
    srv.start()
    // Stop server
    srv.stop()
    
  6. In your application, launch asyncio event loop and websocket server
    import pyg2o
    import asyncio
    
    srv = None
    
    async def main():
        global srv
        srv = pyg2o.PythonWebsocketServer(
            host='localhost',
            port=8080,
            ping_interval=30,
            whitelist=['::1'],
        )
        try:
            await srv.start()
        except asyncio.CancelledError:
            await srv.stop()
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        asyncio.run(main())
