Description William Waisse 2013-12-12 10:21:09 UTC

wssh is a simple text client for the websocket protocol, written in python .

its very useful for nyone dealin with websokets, nd it would be great if gentoo had an ebuild for it ;)

Upstream does not seem to have made any releases (please link to them if I just didn't find them).

This live ebuild seems to work, `wssh echo.websocket.org` gives the expected echoes. I'm not entirely sure what upstream had in mind with the '==' dependencies on gevent and ws4py, but allowing the current ~amd64 versions did not seem to break anything.

An apparently unrelated, but identically named project lives at https://github.com/aluzzardi/wssh/ . It seems to fill a similar need, and has a 0.1.0 release on pypi, but it has more dependencies (among them flask).

wssh looks cool, but it hasn't seen any changes in over 5 years, hasn't had any releases, and requires Python 2 which is going to be EOL in 2 years.  so unless upstream revives, we probably should not bother with this :/.
