+## Python Flask echo server
+
+By default, the `ws://echo.websocket.events` endpoint is used. You can setup a Python websocket echo server locally and try the `ws://<your-ip>:5000` endpoint. To do this, install Flask-sock Python package
+
+```
+pip install flask-sock
+```
+
+and start a Flask websocket echo server locally by executing the following Python code:
+
+```python
+from flask import Flask
+from flask_sock import Sock
+
+app = Flask(__name__)
+sock = Sock(app)
+
+
+@sock.route('/')
+def echo(ws):
+    while True:
+        data = ws.receive()
+        ws.send(data)
+
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    # To run your Flask + WebSocket server in production you can use Gunicorn:
+    # gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:5000 --workers 4 --threads 100 module:app
+    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", debug=True)
+```
