Sanic
=================================
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!
Sanic aspires to be simple:
-------------------
.. code:: python
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import json
app = Sanic()
@app.route("/")
async def test(request):
return json({"hello": "world"})
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
