Channel Cat 629524af04 Restructured blueprint class
Blueprints currently queue functions to be called, which are simple, yet
hard to inspect.  These changes allow tools to be built that analyze
blueprints more easily.

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.

    async def test(request):
        return json({"hello": "world"})

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

TODO
----
* Streamed file processing
* File output
* Examples of integrations with 3rd-party modules
* RESTful router

Limitations
-----------
* No wheels for uvloop and httptools on Windows :(
