I am able to send socket.io events with this code: https://gist.github.com/1375505
It's based off an answer I found on Stack Overflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6692908/formatting-messages-to-send-to-socket-io-node-js-server-from-python-client> . With the code in that gist, you should be able to send one event to your node.js server. If you have a long running Python script, you'll need to send heartbeat packets (with sio.heartbeat() ) every 15 seconds or you'll lose your connection to node.js. This particular example is from a photobooth application I'm working on called PhotoPops. http://myphotopops.com There isn't much there right now as I just used it in public for the first time last Friday at a local event. I think I'll make that Github repo public when I feel a little more confident about it. Matt Gorecki
