Sanic is a Python 3.8+ web server and web framework that's written to go fast. It allows the usage of the async/await syntax added in Python 3.5, which makes your code non-blocking and speedy.
Sanic is also ASGI compliant, so you can deploy it with an alternative ASGI webserver.

If you are running on a clean install of Fedora 28 or above, please make sure you have the redhat-rpm-config package installed in case if you want to
use sanic with ujson dependency.

from sanic.response import json
app = Sanic("my-hello-world-app")
@app.route('/')
async def test(request):
return json({'hello': 'world'})
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()Sanic can now be easily run using sanic hello.app.
