This sample code work with following Websocket Echo Server implementation using Python (tornado package needed). The echo server will wait for a message to be received and then echo back the message reversed. Details about the connection will be printed to the terminal.

import tornado.httpserver
import tornado.websocket
import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
import socket
