Python microframework (Bottle, Flask) and socket.io

I'm trying to build an application with a websocket like functionality I'm using python (will be deployed on heroku with gunicorn)

So far my search led me to Bottle. A replacement for my current microframework - Flask. Bottle allows websocket functionality. http://bottlepy.org/docs/stable/async.html

My question is: Could I use the javascript part of socket.io (or something similar) to connect to Bottle? If yes, how?

Thank you.

You can also take a look at flask-socket.io, which would work with your current framework -- Flask. Aside from wrapping the lower-level functionality (gevent/SocketIO), it also adds some higher level functions such as rooms so you can group your users together.

Served me well on a previous project.
