This document discusses server-sent events (SSE) and provides examples of using SSE with Flask and Python. SSE allows for single-connection server push capabilities in HTML5. It then demonstrates how to build a simple SSE example using Flask, Redis, and an asynchronous WSGI server like Gunicorn. The example shows how updated text can be pushed from the server in real-time to the browser without reloading the page. Finally, potential other uses of SSE like dynamic website updates and real-time games are mentioned.
