Waitress WSGI server

Project description

latest version of waitress on PyPI https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/workflows/Build%20and%20test/badge.svg master Documentation Status IRC Freenode

Waitress is a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones which live in the Python standard library. It runs on CPython on Unix and Windows under Python 3.7+. It is also known to run on PyPy 3 (version 3.7 compatible python) on UNIX. It supports HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.

For more information, see the “docs” directory of the Waitress package or visit https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/

2.1.0b0

Python Version Support

  • Python 3.6 is no longer supported by Waitress

  • Python 3.10 is fully supported by Waitress

Bugfix

Features

  • When the WSGI app starts sending data to the output buffer, we now attempt to send data directly to the socket. This avoids needing to wake up the main thread to start sending data. Allowing faster transmission of the first byte. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/364

    With thanks to Michael Merickel for being a great rubber ducky!

  • Add REQUEST_URI to the WSGI environment.

    REQUEST_URI is similar to request_uri in nginx. It is a string that contains the request path before separating the query string and decoding %-escaped characters.
