This is mostly just for my learning experience to dive deeper into Python. A cool tool that I’ve just discovered is helping me shave off the time needed to do debugging to a bare minimum. Introducing wscat, a nodejs cli application that allows you to connect directly to a websocket server and receive/send data in a terminal like environment.
