Python SocketIO client can't connect to Socket.IO chat example server

[tonyho]

I setup and launch the chat server example at here Chat server example. And I can enter login and connect and send message using the broswer and the java socket.io client.

But I can't login to the chat server using python socketio-client. Below is the python client code: $ cat client.py, the port is change to 3001, original is 3000

#!/usr/bin/env python

from socketIO_client import SocketIO, BaseNamespace

class MyNamespace(BaseNamespace):

    def connect(self, *args):
        print('on_connect', args)
    def on_connect(self, *args):
        print('on_connect', args)

    def user(self, *args):
        print('on_aaa_response', args)

    def on_aaa_response(self, *args):
        print('on_aaa_response', args)

socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 3001)
namespace = "chat"
event_name = "connect"
my_namespace = socketIO.define(MyNamespace, "/")
#my_namespace = socketIO.define(MyNamespace, "/my_namespace")

my_namespace.emit(event_name, {"message": "from python socketio-client"})
socketIO.wait(seconds=1)

Below is the log when run it:

 $ python3 client.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "client.py", line 18, in <module>
    socketIO = SocketIO('localhost', 3001)
  File "/home/hexiongjun/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/socketIO_client/__init__.py", line 353, in __init__
    resource, hurry_interval_in_seconds, **kw)

  File "/home/hexiongjun/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/socketIO_client/__init__.py", line 76, in _get_engineIO_session
    transport.recv_packet())
StopIteration

And at the node chat server, I add the DEBUG=* to view the logs, when the python client test program run, the server outputs following:

As comparison, when the other socket.io client(eg: from web browser, http://localhost:3001) login the server output followings:

Is there any example to use the python socket.io client with chat example server? Or any wrong with my test code? Or Can someone give a hint to debug?

Hi! Did you try to open an issue in the repository of the python client?
