The server-sent events are certainly possible with webpy. You really
just set the mime-type of the response, and can then use the 'yield'
functionality to send out partial responses. For instance:
class ServerSent:
def GET(self):
web.header("Content-Type", "application/x-dom-event-stream")
while True:
yield "Event: server-time\ndata: %s\n" % time.time()
time.sleep(10)
That said, webpy creates a thread per connection and will keep that
thread alive as long as the client is connected. You may want to look
into non-blocking frameworks if you'll need to handle enough
simultaneous connections -- tornado was created for this purpose.
