 """Connect to a Socket.IO server. :param url: The URL of the Socket.IO server. It can include custom query string parameters if required by the server. :param headers: A dictionary with custom headers to send with the connection request. :param transports: The list of allowed transports. Valid transports are ``'polling'`` and ``'websocket'``. If not given, the polling transport is connected first, then an upgrade to websocket is attempted. :param namespaces: The list of custom namespaces to connect, in addition to the default namespace. If not given, the namespace list is obtained from the registered event handlers. :param socketio_path: The endpoint where the Socket.IO server is installed. The default value is appropriate for most cases. Note: this method is a coroutine. Example usage:: sio = socketio.Client() sio.connect('http://localhost:5000') """
