Answer 1

You can use Websocket.

Python Snippet for websocket

Client Side:

from ws4py.client.threadedclient import WebSocketClient
client_url = "ws://server_url + "/websocket/create
ws_client = WebsocketClient(client_url)
ws_client.connect()

Server Side: Assuming you have a server with server_url serving the api /websocket/create:

from ws4py.websocket import WebSocket

class ws_server(Websocket):
    WebSocket.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

class WebSocketHandler(object):

    @cherrypy.expose
    def create(self):
        # wsInstance is of type ws_server. Must set userName.
        wsInstance = cherrypy.request.ws_handler
    

And in the Server's config:

cherrypy.tree.mount(WebSocketHandler(), '/websocket',
                            config={
                                '/': {
                                    'tools.response_headers.on': True,
                                    'tools.sessions.locking': 'explicit',
                                    'tools.websocket.on': True,
                                    'tools.websocket.handler_cls': ws_server,
                                },
                            })
