High performance asynchronous Python WSGI Web Server
Project description
What’s this
this is a python wsgi web server.
Thus this is yet an another asynchronous web server like fapws3, tornado.
And meinheld is a WSGI compliant web server.
Require
meinheld requires Python 2.x >= 2.5. and greenlet >= 0.3.1.
sorry meinheld supported linux only.
Installation
Install from pypi:
$ easy_install -ZU meinheld
Install from source:
$ python setup.py install
meinheld support gunicorn .
To install gunicorn:
$ easy_install -ZU gunicorn
Basic Usage
simple wsgi app:
from meinheld import server def hello_world(environ, start_response): status = '200 OK' res = "Hello world!" response_headers = [('Content-type','text/plain'),('Content-Length',str(len(res)))] start_response(status, response_headers) return [res] server.listen(("0.0.0.0", 8000)) server.run(hello_world)
with gunicorn. user worker class “egg:meinheld#gunicorn_worker” or “meinheld.gmeinheld.MeinheldWorker”:
$ gunicorn --workers=2 --worker-class="egg:meinheld#gunicorn_worker" gunicorn_test:app
Continuation
meinheld provide simple continuation API (based on greenlet).
to enable continuation, use SpawnMiddleware. get Continuation from wsgi environ.
Continuation Object has couple method, suspend and resume.
example
from meinheld import server from meinheld import middleware def app(environ, start_response): ... #get Continuation c = environ.get(middleware.CONTINUATION_KEY, None) ... if condtion: waiters.append(c) #suspend c.suspend() else: for c in waiters: # resume suspend function c.resume() ... server.listen(("0.0.0.0", 8000)) server.run(middleware.SpawnMiddleware(hello_world))

Websocket (experimental)
meinheld support Websocket. use WebSocketMiddleware.
example
from flask import Flask, render_template, request from meinheld import server, middleware SECRET_KEY = 'development key' DEBUG=True app = Flask(__name__) app.config.from_object(__name__) participants = set() @app.route('/') def index(): return render_template('websocket_chat.html') @app.route('/chat') def chat(): print request.environ ws = request.environ.get('wsgi.websocket') participants.add(ws) try: while True: print "ws.wait()..." m = ws.wait() print "recv msg %s" % m if m is None: break for p in participants: print "send message %s" % m p.send(m) finally: participants.remove(ws) return "" if __name__ == "__main__": server.listen(("0.0.0.0", 8000)) server.run(middleware.WebSocketMiddleware(app))
Performance
meinheld is used high performance http_parser.
(see http://github.com/ry/http-parser)
and useing high performance event library picoev.
(see http://developer.cybozu.co.jp/kazuho/2009/08/picoev-a-tiny-e.html)
sendfile
meinheld use sendfile(2), over wgsi.file_wrapper.
