socketio for NON web-based process communication

[rozensl2]

Hi there,

I need to create a channel of communication between an Adobe application plug-in (Javascript) and a Python module. The plug-in sends data to the Python module, which processes this information and sends it back. The plug-in does not support the spawning of child processes, so I cannot use the "child-process" module.

At the moment, the only way I can think of for these two processes to communicate is via WebSocket, as the plug-in supports it. Would python-socketio be able to connect to a javascript process running the WebSocket protocol? Please note that both processes will be running on the same machine and there will be no Internet connectivity.

This package does not support plain WebSocket communication. The Socket.IO protocol is much more complex than WebSocket, it only uses WebSocket as a transport. If you don't have Socket.IO support on the Adobe side, then this package will not work for you.

Hi Miguel, thank you for the prompt reply! I'll be looking for another solution.
