Python websocket connect and listen to incoming messages
I can't find a very simple example how to do websocket connect in python, and provide some on_message callback that listens to incoming messages.
So the websocket has create_connection method to create a connection, but I don't see where I can pass a callback function that will be called each time the other side send messages to me.
I am creating a simple python websocket proxy/relay, so every time a client is connected to my server, I want to create a connection to another server, and then listen to incoming messages so I can pass them back to the client.

So I managed to do it this way. I hope that's the optimal way to do so.
ws = create_connection(url)
def run(*args):
while True:
try:
message = ws.recv() # This is blocking
# do what I need to do here
except WebSocketClosedError:
break
thread.start_new_thread(run, ())
