txWS example project

I recently got the itch to check up on WebSockets, and tinker with a fewideas I have been tossing around. Some searching around led me to txWS, which supported a newer version of the spec, and was organized to my liking. The only problem was, it wasn’t immediately apparent how to use it without some prior knowledge of Twisted.

Rooting around in the txWS issue tracker, I found an issue complaining about the lack of a simple example. Someone chimed in with a link to a gist by zed, which contained a very concise and useful sample of how everything fits together.

I figured I’d take the next step and re-organize it to my liking, stick some more comments in, and post up a project for me to base my various tinker projects on. The end result of this is txWS-example-project.

As a result of this mostly being for me, you may or may not like my particular project structure, but hopefully you can still get the basic idea of how to use txWS.
