Channels loads into Django as a pluggable app to bring WebSocket, long-poll HTTP,
task offloading and other asynchrony support to your code, using familiar Django
design patterns and a flexible underlying framework that lets you not only
customize behaviours but also write support for your own protocols and needs.
Documentation, installation and getting started instructions are at
https://channels.readthedocs.io
Channels is an official Django Project and as such has a deprecation policy.
Details about what's deprecated or pending deprecation for each release is in
the `release notes <http://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/index.html>`_.
Support can be obtained either here via issues, or in the ``#django-channels``
channel on Freenode.
You can install channels from PyPI as the ``channels`` package.
You'll likely also want to ``asgi_redis`` to provide the Redis channel layer.
See our `installation <https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html>`_
and `getting started <https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html>`_ docs for more.
