It acts as a single-package replacement for the traditional Gunicorn + uvicorn + http-tools stack on Unix systems, handling ASGI/3, RSGI, and WSGI application interfaces. The server is built on Hyper and Tokio, providing native HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 support, WebSocket handling, HTTPS and mTLS, and direct static file serving.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who prioritize throughput and modern HTTP protocol support. It requires only click as a runtime dependency and offers optional extras for environment file loading, process naming, reload-on-change, and alternative event loops (rloop, uvloop, winloop). Granian is not suitable if you need a pure Python solution, advanced debugging features, or support for trio/gevent-based applications.","worth_installing":"Yes. Granian is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions (3.10\u20133.14), and offers a pragmatic alternative to traditional multi-component stacks. Install it if you're running ASGI or WSGI applications and want modern HTTP/2 support and high throughput with minimal dependencies. Skip it only if you require pure Python, advanced debugging, or async frameworks outside asyncio."},"id":"granian","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/granian","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/granian.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/granian/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"granian","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Rust HTTP server for Python applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11217288,"position":1408,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.8.1"}
