Pull request: If you change the signature of `ws_recv` to:

```auto
    def ws_recv(self, wantBinary=False, packetType=0x07):

```

and the test for binary packets to:

```auto
                elif (wantBinary is True) and (result[0] == packetType): # binary pattern list packet

```

then your library can be used to read other things besides the pattern list (I’m redoing my [animated previews](https://forum.electromage.com/t/feature-request-raw-rgb-values-in-preview-jpg/1791/5) code to take advantage of the increased number of preview pixels in v3.24, but they’re only in the websocket packets – the preview jpeg saved inside the pattern EPE is still limited to 100 wide by 150 tall).
