Lambho
A micro web server with Python 3.5+ that runs fast!
Lambho is a lightweight Python web framework, inspired by Sanic and Bottle, for building fast APIs and web services with minimal boilerplate.
Lambho is a lightweight Python web server framework designed to help you build web applications quickly and with minimal overhead. Think of it like a simplified toolkit for creating APIs or web services—you write a few lines of Python code to define what happens when someone visits a URL, and the framework handles receiving requests and sending responses.
The project takes inspiration from two popular frameworks: Sanic (which is known for being very fast) and Bottle (which is known for being simple and easy to learn). Lambho aims to combine those strengths—giving you a framework that doesn't require a lot of boilerplate or complex configuration, but still runs efficiently even under load.
You'd use this if you're building a small to medium web service, API endpoint, or microservice and you want something faster and lighter than a full-featured framework like Django. For example, you might use it to create a simple REST API that processes requests and returns JSON, or a small internal tool that your team needs to access over HTTP. It's the kind of project that appeals to developers who want to get something running quickly without wrestling with layers of abstraction.
The README is quite minimal and doesn't go into detail about specific features, syntax, or how to get started, so you'd want to check the actual code or documentation if you're interested in trying it out.
Where it fits
- Build a small REST API that processes requests and returns JSON.
- Create a lightweight internal tool your team accesses over HTTP.
- Prototype a microservice without the overhead of a full framework like Django.
- Define simple URL routes with a few lines of Python code.
