µHTTP - Stupid web development

µHTTP emerged from the need of a simple web framework. It's great for micro-services, small applications, AND monolithic monsters.

Why

• Stupid simple, seriously, there are maybe 15 lines of "real" code in it. No external dependencies.
• Extremely modular, entire extensions can just follow the simple App pattern.
• Very flexible, you can even raise responses.
• Quite fast, because size matters.
• Great learning device.

The rant.

Installation

µHTTP is on PyPI.

pip install uhttp

You might also need an ASGI server. I recommend Uvicorn.

pip install uvicorn

Hello, world!

from uhttp import App

app = App()

@app.get('/')
def hello(request):
    return f'Hello, {request.ip}!'


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import uvicorn
    uvicorn.run('__main__:app')

Documentation

First, read the tutorial. It'll show you how to write and deploy a link aggregation platform (read: Hacker News clone).

Then, take look at the API reference.

Finally, enjoy the source code. ;)

Extensions

µHTTP doesn't come with bells and whistles.

If you want more, search for µHTTP extensions.
