AutobahnPython implements The WebSocket Protocol and The WebSocket Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP): This form is optimised for faster masks and vaidators using C extensions and deferreds for use with the The RoboEarth Cloud Engine

• framework for WebSocket and WAMP clients and servers
• implements WebSocket RFC6455, Draft Hybi-10+, Hixie-76 and WAMP v1
• Twisted-based, runs on CPython and PyPy
• high-performance, fully asynchronous implementation
• best-in-class standards conformance (100% strict passes with Autobahn WebSocket Testsuite)
• message-, frame- and streaming-APIs
• Deferred-based API for asynchronous RPC and PubSub (WAMP)
• supports TLS (secure WebSocket)
• session authentication (WAMP-CRA)
• Open-source (Apache 2 license)

You can use AutobahnPython to create clients and servers speaking either plain WebSocket or WAMP.

Using WAMP you can build applications around asynchronous RPC and PubSub messaging patterns.

AutobahnPython is designed to work with Python (latest versions of 2.6 or 2.7) and PyPy (1.9 or later). Depends on Twisted (11.1 or later)
