How to exit cleanly from flask and waitress running as a windows pywin32 service
I have spent hours reviewing and testing ways of making waitress exit cleanly (like this and this) but the best I can do so far is a kind of suicidal SIGINT which makes Windows complain "the pipe has been ended" when stopping through the Services control panel, but at least it stops :-/ I guess the pythonservice.exe which pywin32 starts, should not terminate, just the waitress treads?

Reining in the thundering herd: Getting to 80% CPU utilization with Django
If you’re delegating your load balancing to something else further up the stack and would prefer a simpler WSGI server than Gunicorn, Waitress is worth a look: https://github.com/pylons/waitress

Flask like web framework under 100 lines of code
The angle brackets on their own should be a sign that this is not the case, because that's not regular expression syntax. Flask uses werkzeug.routing instead. In fact, the module docs specifically call out the difference:

Django or Flask and why?
Flask doesn’t support ASGI; neither does Werkzeug. The official guidance for running Flask with an ASGI server is to wrap it in middleware. The open GitHub issue for Werkzeug to support ASGI is #1322.

I found (and fixed) a vulnerability in Python
> In this case, he initially presumed that the problem would be with Flask, Bottle, and Tornado still honoring a semi-colon as a separator in a uri
Flask (or rather Werkzeug what it's based on) removed implicit semicolon support for URL 13 years ago: https://github.com/pallets/werkzeug/commit/0ea28bbc6f5f05eef...

Werkzeug (library used by Flask) had a repr for its sentinel long before getting type annotations.

New Versions Released! Flask 2.0 with async
Flask getting async support is a huge step for the asyncio web ecosystem in Python. I wonder how Flask's ASGI support will evolve in parallel with Quart[1] which bills itself as the ASGI version of Flask and is maintained by a member of the Pallets team. One of the maintainers of Werkzeug even recommended using Quart[2]

Disable Color from the log that flaak produce
I’m pretty sure you need to establish a ‘werkzeug’ logger in a logging configuration and make sure that it has a handler for its effective level. But that’s just what I got from reading the source code. I could very well be wrong
