[Python] Connection closed: sent 1011 (unexpected error) keepalive ping timeout; no close...

PYTHON. When I try making a websocket connection with a server (external), I am able to connect, get messages for say 10 seconds, then Ill get the title error and have to re-do the handshake. It happens variablly but its roughly every 10-20 seconds that error will pop up. I know a websocket connection should stay open for quite some time, so somethings wrong here.
