Django Channels

https://github.com/django/channels/workflows/Tests/badge.svg?branch=master https://readthedocs.org/projects/channels/badge/?version=latest

Channels augments Django to bring WebSocket, long-poll HTTP, task offloading and other async support to your code, using familiar Django design patterns and a flexible underlying framework that lets you not only customize behaviours but also write support for your own protocols and needs.

Documentation, installation and getting started instructions are at https://channels.readthedocs.io

Channels is an official Django Project and as such has a deprecation policy. Details about what's deprecated or pending deprecation for each release is in the release notes.

Support can be obtained through several locations - see our support docs for more.

You can install channels from PyPI as the channels package. See our installation and tutorial docs for more.

Dependencies

All Channels projects currently support Python 3.7 and up. channels is compatible with Django 2.2, 3.2, 4.0 and 4.1.
