Sanic is a Python 3.7+ web server and web framework that's written to go fast. It allows the usage of the async/await syntax added in Python 3.5, which makes your code non-blocking and speedy.
Sanic is also ASGI compliant, so you can deploy it with an alternative ASGI webserver.

Installation
pip3 install sanic
Sanic makes use of
uvloopandujsonto help with performance. If you do not want to use those packages, simply add an environmental variableSANIC_NO_UVLOOP=trueorSANIC_NO_UJSON=trueat install time.$ export SANIC_NO_UVLOOP=true $ export SANIC_NO_UJSON=true $ pip3 install --no-binary :all: sanic
Note
If you are running on a clean install of Fedora 28 or above, please make sure you have the redhat-rpm-config package installed in case if you want to
use sanic with ujson dependency.
Note
Windows support is currently "experimental" and on a best-effort basis. Multiple workers are also not currently supported on Windows (see Issue #1517), but setting workers=1 should launch the server successfully.
Hello World Example
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import json
app = Sanic("My Hello, world app")
@app.route('/')
async def test(request):
return json({'hello': 'world'})
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()Sanic can now be easily run using sanic hello.app.
