bareASGI

A lightweight Python ASGI web server framework
(read the docs).

Overview

This is a bare ASGI web server framework. The goal is to provide
a minimal implementation, with other facilities (serving static files, CORS,
sessions, etc.) being implemented by optional packages.

The framework is targeted at micro-services which require a light footprint
(in a container for example), or as a base for larger frameworks.

Python 3.8+ is required.

Optional Packages

Functionality

The framework provides the basic functionality required for developing a web
application, including:

  • Http,
  • WebSockets,
  • Routing,
  • Lifecycle,
  • Middleware

Simple Server

Here is a simple server with a request handler that returns some text.

import uvicorn
from bareasgi import Application, HttpRequest, HttpResponse, text_writer

async def example_handler(request: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse:
    return HttpResponse(
        200,
        [(b'content-type', b'text/plain')],
        text_writer('This is not a test')
    )

app = Application()
app.http_router.add({'GET'}, '/', example_handler)

uvicorn.run(app, port=9009)
