Asynchronous Server Side Events (SSE) Client

Similar to sseclient and sseclient-py, a tiny package for supporting Server Side Events (SSE) with py3.9 asyncio and aiohttp.

Install it with this: pip3 install aiosseclient

Sample code (read more):

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aiosseclient import aiosseclient

async def main():
    async for event in aiosseclient('https://stream.wikimedia.org/v2/stream/recentchange'):
        print(event)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())

Alternative libraries

There are different libraries, apparently inspired from this library initially, that right now are handling session close better using a different API,
