#Python Async Web Server (paws) 🐾 A stupidly simple and insanely fast multi-process asyncronous python web server powered by Python 3.5 asyncio

Installation

if just using stock python:

pip3 install jinja2
python3 setup.py install

if using uvloop:

pip3 install uvloop jinja2
python3 setup.py install

What's New:

PAWS now has the ability to perform asyncronous requests via new get, put, post, and delete connection methods. Additionally, experimental SSL support exists within these methods, but not the main server (yet).

Older News:

PAWS has support for uvloop allowing increased speed by replacing the default asyncio loop construct with one running on top of libuv. By default uvloop is NOT used. To use it, pass use_uvloop=True in the arguments for run_server()

Example

from paws import run_server

async def root(req, res):
  res.body = "hello world!"
  return res

def routing(app):
  app.add_route("/", root)

run_server(routing_cb=routing, host="127.0.0.1", port=8080, processes=4)

Requirements

default:

• Python >= 3.5
• Jinja2 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jinja2

if using uvloop:

• libuv
• uvloop >= 0.4.11
