Method emit

Emit a custom event to one or more connected clients. :param event: The event name. It can be any string. The event names ``'connect'``, ``'message'`` and ``'disconnect'`` are reserved and should not be used. :param data: The data to send

        :param event: The event name. It can be any string. The event names
                      ``'connect'``, ``'message'`` and ``'disconnect'`` are
                      reserved and should not be used.
        :param data: The data to send to the client or clients. Data can be of
                     type ``str``, ``bytes``, ``list`` or ``dict``. To send
                     multiple arguments, use a tuple where each element is of
                     one of the types indicated above.
        :param to: The recipient of the message. This can be set to the
                   session ID of a client to address only that client, to any
                   custom room created by the application to address all
                   the clients in that room, or to a list of custom room
                   names. If this argument is omitted the event is broadcasted
                   to all connected clients.
        :param room: Alias for the ``to`` parameter.
        :param skip_sid: The session ID of a client to skip when broadcasting
                         to a room or to all clients. This can be used to
                         prevent a message from being sent to the sender. To
                         skip multiple sids, pass a list.
        :param namespace: The Socket.IO namespace for the event. If this
                          argument is omitted the event is emitted to the
                          default namespace.
        :param callback: If given, this function will be called to acknowledge
                         the client has received the message. The arguments
                         that will be passed to the function are those provided
                         by the client. Callback functions can only be used
                         when addressing an individual client.
        :param ignore_queue: Only used when a message queue is configured. If
                             set to ``True``, the event is emitted to the
                             clients directly, without going through the queue.
                             This is more efficient, but only works when a
                             single server process is used. It is recommended
                             to always leave this parameter with its default
                             value of ``False``.

        Note: this method is not thread safe. If multiple threads are emitting
        at the same time to the same client, then messages composed of
        multiple packets may end up being sent in an incorrect sequence. Use
        standard concurrency solutions (such as a Lock object) to prevent this
        situation.
