It's the websockets library: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets All I really need to do is occasionally connect briefly to a websocket server as a client from a synchronous app. Since I'm already using the library on the server-side, I thought I'd save myself the trouble of having to use two libraries and just use the same library on the client side as well. --Chris > > On Sun, Jul 9, 2017 at 8:48 PM, Chris Jerdonek <chris.jerdo...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> I have a two-part question. >> >> If my application is single-threaded and synchronous (e.g. a web app >> using Gunicorn with sync workers [1]), and occasionally I need to call >> functions in a library that requires an event loop, is there any >> downside to creating and closing the loop on-the-fly only when I call >> the function?
