Sanic | Build fast. Run fast.
Sanic is a Python 3.6+ web server and web framework that's written to go fast. It allows the usage of the async/await syntax added in Python 3.5, which makes your code non-blocking and speedy.
The project is maintained by the community, for the community Contributions are welcome!
The goal of the project is to provide a simple way to get up and running a highly performant HTTP server that is easy to build, to expand, and ultimately to scale.
Installation
pip3 install sanic
Sanic makes use of ``uvloop`` and ``ujson`` to help with performance. If you do not want to use those packages, simply add an environmental variable ``SANIC_NO_UVLOOP=true`` or ``SANIC_NO_UJSON=true`` at install time.
.. code:: shell
$ export SANIC_NO_UVLOOP=true
$ export SANIC_NO_UJSON=true
$ pip3 install --no-binary :all: sanic
Hello World Example
.. code:: python
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import json
app = Sanic()
@app.route('/')
async def test(request):
return json({'hello': 'world'})
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
Sanic can now be easily run using python3 hello.py
.
.. code::
[2018-12-30 11:37:41 +0200] [13564] [INFO] Goin' Fast @ http://0.0.0.0:8000
[2018-12-30 11:37:41 +0200] [13564] [INFO] Starting worker [13564]
And, we can verify it is working: curl localhost:8000 -i
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
Keep-Alive: 5
Content-Length: 17
Content-Type: application/json
{"hello":"world"}
Now, let's go build something fast!
