Make the PyWebSocketServer instance available in Jython interpreter #5

Here's the use case...I'd like to write some Python which attaches an event handler (for example, a user moves in the world) and have some code run which sends a web socket message to my Angular app. For example, it moves an icon on the screen.

I currently have a Python module in ./plugins which my Angular app contacts by polling every 0.5 seconds. Certainly not the most efficient.

See my other comment on issue #4, I think this can be solved elegantly using a push + request-reply API mechanism.

Just to be clear, I would be able to write a module in ./plugins which had an object I could call a method on, resulting in broadcast of a message on a “channel”?

Then, browser clients could open a websocket connection, either for that specific channel or in general but having channel as an attribute on the message?

If so, then great. :) Really, either is a massive step forward for what I can implement in Angular.
