blacksheep 0.0.2

Fast HTTP Server/Client microframework for Python asyncio

BlackSheep

HTTP Server/Client microframework for Python asyncio, using Cython, uvloop, and httptools.

This project is a beta version. The reason behind this framework is described in this page of the Wiki: Story.

from datetime import datetime
from blacksheep import HttpResponse, TextContent
from blacksheep.server import Application


app = Application()

@app.route('/')
async def home(request):
    return HttpResponse(200, content=TextContent(f'Hello, World! {datetime.utcnow().isoformat()}'))

app.start()

Objectives

• Clean architecture and source code
• Avoid CPU cycles to handle things that are not strictly necessary
• Intelligible and easy to learn API, similar to those of many Python web frameworks
• Keep the core package minimal and focused, as much as possible, on features defined in HTTP and HTML standards
• High performance

Server Features

• Routing
• Middlewares
• Built-in support for multi processing
• Integration with built-in logging module to log access and errors synchronously - this is completely disabled by default
• Chunked encoding through generators (yield syntax)
• Serving static files
• Linux only: support for Windows is currently out of the scope of this project
