README

The lightning-fast ASGI server.

---

Documentation: http://www.uvicorn.org

Requirements: Python 3.5.3+

Uvicorn is a lightning-fast ASGI server implementation, using uvloop and httptools.

Until recently Python has lacked a minimal low-level server/application interface for asyncio frameworks. The ASGI specification fills this gap, and means we're now able to start building a common set of tooling usable across all asyncio frameworks.

Uvicorn currently supports HTTP/1.1 and WebSockets. Support for HTTP/2 is planned.

Quickstart

Install using pip:

p install uvicorn

Create an application, in app.py:

s App():
def __init__(self, scope):
    self.scope = scope

async def __call__(self, receive, send):
    await send({
        'type': 'http.response.start',
        'status': 200,
        'headers': [
            [b'content-type', b'text/plain'],
        ],
    })
    await send({
        'type': 'http.response.body',
        'body': 'Hello, world!',
    })

Run the server:

icorn app:App
