python socketio socketio.emit_Python socket.io emit message on function call

I currently have a python socket.io server and client. However, I want to trigger a emit event from another file. The function sendMsg runs and prints out sending, however, my client never receives any message.

Server:

from aiohttp import web

import socketio

import threading

sio = socketio.AsyncServer()

app = web.Application()

sio.attach(app)

async def sendMsg(msg):

print("sending")

await sio.emit("response",msg)

@sio.event

def connect(sid, environ):

print(\'connect \', sid)

sio.emit("response","ready")

@sio.event

def disconnect(sid):

print(\'disconnect \', sid)

print("Client is disconnected, please restart server/client connection")

@sio.on(\'message\')

async def print_message(sid, message):

print("Socket ID: " , sid)

print(message)

await sio.emit("response","test")

if __name__ == \'__main__\':

print("starting server")

web.run_app(app)

Client:

import time

import socketio

sio = socketio.Client()

@sio.event

def connect():

print(\'connected to server\')

sio.emit("message","connected")

@sio.event

def response(data):

print(\'res rec\', data)

@sio.on("letter")

def letter(data):

print(data)

if __name__ == \'__main__\':

sio.connect(\'http://localhost:8080\')

sio.wait()

I don\'t know if this is a server issue or client issue, any help would be appreciated.
