python-wss

Simple python secure websocket server/client with optional authentication built in.

This is just a simple wrapper around autobahn that removes the need to write a bunch of boiler plate code if you just want a simple and secure server client to send messages back and forth. It has optional diffie-helman-based authentication (what? dh isn't for authentication?).

You still need to create your own ssl certs and keys. You can follow this guide on how to create a locally signed cert/key combo:

https://tripzero.io/general/secure-websocket-server-using-autobahn-and-trollius-asyncio/

You can also use letsencrypt.org to create cert/keys.

basic usage:

import wss
import asyncio

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

server =  wss.Server(port=1234, usessl=True, sslcert="path/to/cert.crt", 
                     sslkey="path/to/server.key", auth=None)

def onTextMessage(msg, client):
	print("got message from client:", msg)

def onBinaryMessage(msg, client):
	print("got binary message")

server.setTextHandler(onTextMessage)
server.setBinaryHandler(onBinaryMessage)

@asyncio.coroutine
def sendData():
	while True:
		try:
			print("trying to broadcast...")
			s.broadcast("{'hello' : 'world' }")
		except:
			exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback = sys.exc_info()
			traceback.print_tb(exc_traceback, limit=1, file=sys.stdout)
			traceback.print_exception(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback,
                          limit=2, file=sys.stdout)

		yield from asyncio.sleep(30)

loop.create_task(sendData())

server.start()
loop.run_forever()
