Socket.IO

Evening. Trying to get Socket.IO working on PythonAnywhere (with Flask-SocketIO), everything I read on here says "we do not support sockets but might in the future." It it the future yet? Or are sockets still off-limits? I'm just getting net::ERR_TIMED_OUT

Unfortunately we still don't support them :-(

OK, no problem! Plan B time... wonder if I can connect Firebase Messaging instead...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I believe firebase, pusher etc are all third party providers that work.

Hi, any updates on this?

No, no updates.

I would like too use this too. This would require uwsgi to use either eventlet or gevent(greenlet), for websockets

I wanted to deploy my project as well on this site with Flask-Socket IO. Such a same because the rest of this site is really good!

Guess i'm looking for something else :)

It looks like they're not serious about getting sockets going on pythonanywhere, so for all those who are still waiting for Godot, try Heroku. Sockets work great there and it's free!
