Python client for lightstreamer

[femi]

Hi Gialunca,

I had an application running this morning, and i noticed that occasionally, the lightstreamer server "Freezes" i.e stops sending back messages, causing a TimeoutError. I can attempt to automatically reconnect back to the server in such cases, but i wanted to get your thoughts, if there is already a way to do this?

Thanks,
Femi

Hi Femi,

I confirm that the demo currently does not provide any reconnection mechanism. Therefore, for the moment you should extend the demo with automatic retries.

Regards,
Gianluca

I wonder if someone can answer a very simple and very early question for me, before I start re-learning my forgotten coding skills. I can see that people are somehow using python to connect to IG. I notice that lightstreamer doesn't seem to have a linux version, so I'm wondering if the python is running on linux. I really can't face windows.
