  To implement a WebSocket connection in Python for receiving cryptocurrency market data, you can use the 'tornado' framework. Here's an example code snippet: import tornado.ioloop import tornado.websocket class WebSocketHandler(tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler): def open(self): # Perform any necessary setup # Subscribe to the desired cryptocurrency market data channels def on_message(self, message): # Process the received message def on_close(self): # Handle the WebSocket connection close application = tornado.web.Application([(r'/websocket', WebSocketHandler)]) application.listen(8888) tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start() This code sets up a WebSocket handler using the 'tornado' framework. You can define the necessary setup, message processing, and connection close handling logic in the respective methods of the WebSocketHandler class. The WebSocket connection can be accessed at 'ws://localhost:8888/websocket'. Make sure to replace 'localhost:8888' with the appropriate host and port for your application.
