Sanic
=================================
|Join the chat at https://gitter.im/sanic-python/Lobby| |Build Status| |PyPI| |PyPI version|
Sanic is a Flask-like Python 3.5+ web server that's written to go fast. It's based on the work done by the amazing folks at magicstack, and was inspired by `this article <https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/>`_.
On top of being Flask-like, Sanic supports async request handlers. This means you can use the new shiny async/await syntax from Python 3.5, making your code non-blocking and speedy.
Sanic is developed `on GitHub <https://github.com/channelcat/sanic/>`_. Contributions are welcome!
Benchmarks
----------
All tests were run on an AWS medium instance running ubuntu, using 1
process. Each script delivered a small JSON response and was tested with
wrk using 100 connections. Pypy was tested for Falcon and Flask but did
not speed up requests.
