Albatross

A modern, fast, simple, natively-async web framework. (Python3.5 only)

.. code:: python

from albatross import Server
import asyncio


class Handler:
    async def on_get(self, req, res):
        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
        res.write('Hello, %s' % req.args['name'])


app = Server()
app.add_route('/{name})', Handler())
app.serve()

Notes for Usage

For now (pre 1.0.0), I'm making no claims about API stability (but will
try to avoid changes). That said, I'm using this framework for some
small projects, and it is a joy to work in! Reach out if you want to use
this, as I'm happy to incorporate your feedback!

Install
-------

::

    pip3 install albatross3

Features
--------

-  You can read the entire codebase in about 30 minutes.

-  It's natively async. Doing ``await`` database calls or controller
   calls in your views just works!

-  This works with the ``uvloop`` project, to make your server fast!

Benchmarks
----------

-  My benchmarks indicate that albatross is as fast as aiohttp, both of
   which are twice as fast as tornado. You can run the benchmarks by
   poking around in the ``bench/`` folder.
