    If you're looking for a more advanced Python library, you can consider 'ccxt'. It's a unified cryptocurrency exchange library that supports multiple exchanges, including Bitstamp. With 'ccxt', you can not only connect to the Bitstamp WebSocket API but also to other popular exchanges. It provides a consistent API for accessing market data, placing trades, and managing your account. It's widely used in the cryptocurrency trading community and has a large user base.
