**Documentation**: [https://www.uvicorn.org](https://www.uvicorn.org)

**Requirements**: Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7

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

Until recently Python has lacked a minimal low-level server/application interface for
asyncio frameworks. The [ASGI specification][asgi] 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`:

```shell
$ pip install uvicorn
```

Create an application, in `app.py`:

```python
class App():
    def __init__(self, scope):
        assert scope['type'] == 'http'
        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': b'Hello, world!',
        })
```

Run the server:

```shell
$ uvicorn app:App
```
