Simple webserver

[Janis Papanagnou]

I am pondering about writing a client/server software with
websockets as communication protocol. The clients will run
in browser as Javascript programs and the server may be in
any (any sensible) programming language running standalone
to be connected remotely by the browser-based JS clients.

I found a Python sample[*] but I am neither familiar with
Python nor with the 'simple_websocket_server' package that
is used in that sample code. But the code looks so simple
that I'm considering to learn and use Python for the task.

The requirements I have are quite simple; I want to get the
client "address"/identifier from an incoming message, store
it in a list, and send responses to all active clients for
which addresses have been stored.

Can anyone tell me whether a simple extension of that "echo
incoming message" sample[*] would be easily possible with
Python and with that 'simple_websocket_server' package used?

Thanks for any hints (or search keywords, or code samples)!
