Django + uWSGI + Websocket client connection

Question

We are trying to integrate Socket.io with our website. All messages are sent with uWSGI workers (Django). My problem is, that every message does all connection magic. It looks now like that:

Request -> HTTP Handshake with Socket.io -> Websocket connection -> Data send -> Connection close

And repeat for every message that need to be send to socket.io. It's far from ideal. Sometimes there are 3-4 messages queued / request. Is there way to share socket connection within requests with uWSGI? I don't need sharing between workers, just only within all requests processed by particular worker. Or maybe there are other solutions for that problem?
