It would be great if someone built a package to do this (more interop is always
better), but I think interest has generally fizzled on Socket.IO
implementations in the past because SockJS does pretty much exactly the same
thing, and as Laurens said, our friends over at Desert Bus for Hope maintain
great Twisted support for it <https://github.com/DesertBus/sockjs-twisted>
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/txsockjs>.
It even has endpoints support, including a string parser!
<https://github.com/DesertBus/sockjs-twisted#endpoints>.
Socket.IO is just a negotiation protocol for deciding whether to use websockets
though. If you started with Autobahn I can't imagine it would be more than a
day or two of work to implement.
