- Request parsing for headers, cookies, query parameters, JSON, forms, and uploads
- Built-in XSS protection for form and WebSocket input helpers
- Background tasks and startup/shutdown hooks
- File- and Redis-backed caching, including route and function caching
- Async ORM with models, validation, repositories, queries, mutations, and transactions

renusCLI
Installation
Renus requires Python 3.11 or newer. Install the core package with pip:
python -m pip install renus
Renus is an ASGI framework. Install the server extra when you want to run an
application with Uvicorn or with App.run():
python -m pip install "renus[server]"
Optional extras are available for additional integrations:
| Extra | Provides |
|---|---|
server |
Uvicorn |
mongo |
MongoDB support via pymongo |
mysql |
MySQL support via aiomysql |
redis |
Redis caching support |
all |
All runtime integrations |
dev |
Development and benchmarking dependencies |
Install from source in editable mode:
git clone https://github.com/kak-smko/renus.git
cd renus
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
Quick start
Create main.py:
from renus.app import App
from renus.response import JsonResponse, TextResponse
app = App()
@app.get("/")
def home():
return TextResponse("Hello, world!")
@app.get("/users/{username}")
def user(username):
return JsonResponse({"name": username})
Run the application with Uvicorn:
uvicorn main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --reload
Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ or call the parameterized route:
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/renus
# {"name":"renus"}
You can also use Renus's convenience runner:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, reload=True)
python main.py
WebSockets
WebSocket routes use @app.route(..., method="WS"):
from renus.websockets import WebSocketDisconnect
@app.route("/echo", method="WS")
async def echo(ws):
await ws.accept()
try:
async for message in ws.iter_text():
await ws.send_text(message)
except WebSocketDisconnect:
pass
Database example
Renus includes an async ORM. The following example uses the built-in SQLite adapter:
from renus.db import Database, DatabaseField, Field, Model, SQLiteAdapter
class User(Model):
id: int = Field(database=DatabaseField(primary_key=True, generated=True))
username: str = Field(database=DatabaseField(unique=True))
email: str
async def create_user():
async with Database(SQLiteAdapter({"database": "storage/app.sqlite"})) as db:
await db.create_schema([User])
users = db.repository(User)
return await users.create(
User(username="ada", email="ada@example.com")
)
For production applications, initialize shared database resources in an application lifespan hook and use migrations for schema changes.
CLI
The package exposes both a renus command and a module entry point:
renus --help
renus --version
python -m renus --help
Project commands can be added under a project's commands/ directory. See the
CLI documentation for command discovery,
scaffolding, database commands, and extensions.
