bjoern: Fast And Ultra-Lightweight Asynchronous HTTP/1.1 WSGI Server

A screamingly fast, ultra-lightweight asynchronous WSGI server for CPython, written in C using Marc Lehmann's high performance libev event loop and Ryan Dahl's http-parser.

Why It's Cool

bjoern is the fastest, smallest and most lightweight WSGI server out there, featuring

  • ~ 1000 lines of C code
  • Memory footprint ~ 600KB
  • Single-threaded and without coroutines or other crap
  • Full persistent connection ("keep-alive") support in both HTTP/1.0 and 1.1, including support for HTTP/1.1 chunked responses

Installation

libev

Arch Linux

pacman -S libev

Ubuntu

apt-get install libev-dev

Mac OS X (using homebrew)

brew install libev

Make sure libev is installed and then:

Alternatively, the mainloop can be run separately:

bjoern.listen(wsgi_application, host, port)
bjoern.run()
