[Python] Autobahn sending user specific and broadcast messages from external application

Totally new to websockets.

I am having a bit of trouble understanding how to interact with python Autobahn / twisted from another application and cannot seem to find any useful examples.

I have a Python application running that needs on certain events to send one of two types of messages. The first is a broadcast message to all users. The second type is to a single specific user.

Using the following two examples I can receive messages and send a response. However I do not need to receive anything from connected clients (other than clients connecting to the websockets server) only send to them.

I have played with: https://github.com/tavendo/AutobahnPython/tree/master/examples/twisted/websocket/echo

Also (non Autobahn related): https://github.com/opiate/SimpleWebSocketServer

Questions:

1 - Is what I am trying to do possible? Can I have an external application that connects with the Autobahn application / server and broadcasts messages to all connected users or a single user.

2 - If possible can someone point me in the right direction to learn how this can be done?

Thanks
