Getting support

There are no free support channels.

websockets is an open-source project. It’s primarily maintained by one person as a hobby.

For this reason, the focus is on flawless code and self-service documentation, not support.

Enterprise

websockets is maintained with high standards, making it suitable for enterprise use cases. Additional guarantees are available via Tidelift. If you’re using it in a professional setting, consider subscribing.

Questions

GitHub issues aren’t a good medium for handling questions. There are better places to ask questions, for example Stack Overflow.

If you want to ask a question anyway, please make sure that:

• it’s a question about websockets and not about asyncio;

• it isn’t answered in the documentation;

• it wasn’t asked already.

A good question can be written as a suggestion to improve the documentation.

Cryptocurrency users

websockets appears to be quite popular for interfacing with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency trackers. I’m strongly opposed to Bitcoin’s carbon footprint.

I’m aware of efforts to build proof-of-stake models. I’ll care once the total energy consumption of all cryptocurrencies drops to a non-bullshit level.

You already negated all of humanity’s efforts to develop renewable energy. Please stop heating the planet where my children will have to live.

Since websockets is released under an open-source license, you can use it for any purpose you like. However, I won’t spend any of my time to help you.

I will summarily close issues related to cryptocurrency in any way.
