Hi, can I use data streams/file send via some python sdk?

Thanks for reaching out, Goku. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
I'm happy to let you know that LiveKit does support data streams and file sending through its Python SDK. Here are some helpful features you can use: • Sending Files: You can easily send files using the
send_file()
method. Here's a simple example:
Copy code
await room.local_participant.send_file(
    "./example.jpg",
    destination_identities=[identity],
    topic="files"
)
Streaming Binary Data: If you want to send binary data in chunks, the
stream_bytes()
method is perfect. Check this out:
Copy code
writer = await room.local_participant.stream_bytes(topic="my-topic")
await writer.write(b'some binary data')
await writer.aclose()
Streaming Text Data: For text streams, you can use
stream_text()
. Here's how it works:
Copy code
text_writer = await room.local_participant.stream_text(topic="chat")
await text_writer.write("Hello")
await text_writer.aclose()
If you have any questions or would like more examples, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here to help! Sources: livekit-protocol/livekit/protocol/models.py | Sending files & bytes | LiveKit Docs
