My application handels a countdown, which refreshes all the time. The countdown itself is handeld by the server, like so:
@socketio.on("update-countdown")
def update_countdown():
# do some stuff here to gather countdown
socketio.emit("update-countdown", countdown)
Currently I am catching the event data in JavaScript like this:
var socket = io.connect();
var countdown_wrapper = document.getElementById("countdown");
socket.on("update-countdown", function(countdown) {
countdown_wrapper.innerHTML = countdown;
});
Q.: Is there a way to catch socket.io events without JavaScript? If so, how could I do this?

If you are looking to replace javascript with python within your web browser's client-side code, you might want to look into https://brython.info/
It is essentially just using python within the browser. You wouldn't have all of those fancy decorators, but it would probably work well enough.
