Quick example

from restit import Request, Resource, Response, RestItApp
from restit.decorator import path


@path("/")
class IndexResource(Resource):
    def get(self, request: Request) -> Response:
        return Response("Hello from index.")


app = RestItApp(resources=[IndexResource()])


if __name__ == "__main__":
    # start a development server on http://127.0.0.1:5000
    app.start_development_server()

You can also use a production-ready server like Gunicorn (given the name of the above module is restit_app_test.py):

gunicorn -w 4 restit_app_test:app
