Waitress WSGI server
Project description
Waitress is a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones which live in the Python standard library. It runs on CPython on Unix and Windows under Python 3.7+. It is also known to run on PyPy 3 (version 3.7 compatible python) on UNIX. It supports HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.
For more information, see the “docs” directory of the Waitress package or visit https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/
2.1.0b0
Python Version Support
Python 3.6 is no longer supported by Waitress
Python 3.10 is fully supported by Waitress
Bugfix
wsgi.file_wrapper now sets the seekable, seek, and tell attributes from the underlying file if the underlying file is seekable. This allows WSGI middleware to implement things like range requests for example
See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/issues/359 and https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/363
In Python 3 OSError is no longer subscriptable, this caused failures on Windows attempting to loop to find an socket that would work for use in the trigger.
Fixed an issue whereby BytesIO objects were not properly closed, and thereby would not get cleaned up until garbage collection would get around to it.
This led to potential for random memory spikes/memory issues, see https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/358 and https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/issues/357 .
With thanks to Florian Schulze for testing/vaidating this fix!
Features
When the WSGI app starts sending data to the output buffer, we now attempt to send data directly to the socket. This avoids needing to wake up the main thread to start sending data. Allowing faster transmission of the first byte. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/364
With thanks to Michael Merickel for being a great rubber ducky!
Add REQUEST_URI to the WSGI environment.
REQUEST_URI is similar to request_uri in nginx. It is a string that contains the request path before separating the query string and decoding %-escaped characters.
