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

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.

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
