Can you recommend some popular Python libraries that can be used to connect to the Bitstamp WebSocket API and retrieve real-time cryptocurrency market data? I'm looking for libraries that are widely used and have good community support.

    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.
