Here's an absurdly simple example - an echo server:
from pants import Engine, Server, Stream
class Echo(Stream):
def on_read(self, data):
self.write(data)
Server(Echo).listen(4040)
Engine.instance().start()Want a stupidly fast web server? Got you covered:
from pants.web import Application
app = Application()
@app.route('/')
def hello(request):
return "Hello, World!"
app.run()
