``websockets`` is a library for building WebSocket servers_ and clients_ in
Python with a focus on correctness and simplicity.
.. _servers: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/blob/master/example/server.py
.. _clients: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/blob/master/example/client.py
Built on top of :mod:`asyncio`, Python's standard asynchronous I/O framework,
it provides an elegant coroutine-based API.
Here's how a client sends and receives messages:
.. literalinclude:: ../example/hello.py
And here's an echo server:
.. literalinclude:: ../example/echo.py
