Python WebRTC

Let's use the native WebRTC with strict compatibility and fully implemented stuff!

This project follows the W3C specification with some modifications and additions to make it work better with Python applications, with useful APIs like programmatic audio and video.

DISCLAIMER

This project is still under development and isn't ready for any serious use. In the current stage, it's possible to establish connection and work with audio, but many interfaces and methods not implemented yet.

You can easily check status of methods and interfaces availability here.

Snippet

import asyncio
import webrtc


async def main():
    pc = webrtc.RTCPeerConnection()

    stream = webrtc.get_user_media()
    for track in stream.get_tracks():
        pc.add_track(track, stream)

    audio_source = webrtc.RTCAudioSource()
    track = audio_source.create_track()
    pc.add_track(track)

    local_sdp = await pc.create_offer()
    print(local_sdp.sdp)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
