Instead of managing threads or callbacks, you construct a WebSocket object and iterate over it, receiving event objects for each connection state change and incoming message. The library handles the WebSocket handshake and protocol details internally, yielding events like Connecting, Connected, Ready, Binary, Text, Poll, Closed, and Disconnected as the connection progresses.\n\nThe package depends only on six for Python 2/3 compatibility and is designed for straightforward, synchronous WebSocket consumption. It's useful when you want to read from a WebSocket in a simple loop without concurrent connection management, though the gap between the latest release (2018) and current date means you should verify compatibility with modern Python versions before relying on it for new projects.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a lightweight, event-driven WebSocket client for Python and are comfortable with a library whose latest release is from 2018. The active repository and permissive license are positive signals, but verify Python version compatibility for your target environment before committing to it in new projects. For modern applications, consider whether a more recently maintained alternative better suits your needs."},"id":"lomond","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lomond","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lomond.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/lomond/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-09-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"lomond","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Websocket Client Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":937485,"position":4690,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.3"}
