gunicorn
gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX, fast clients and sleepy applications.
For building your API, I recommend using the Flask library. It is very beginner-friendly, and you will be able to build a simple API in a matter of minutes! Keep in mind that, for a more serious project, you should definitely use something like gunicorn to run you API as a production server.

Project mention: Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-26
I've three things :),
1. Quart, https://quart.palletsprojects.com, an ASGI (async/await) re-implementation of the Python web MicroFramework Flask. It is now maintained alongside, by the same people, as Flask.
2. Hypercorn, https://hypercorn.readthedocs.io, an ASGI/WSGI server that supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3.
3. My book "A Blueprint for Production-Ready Web Applications", which uses both of the above and shows a beginner how to build a full stack app (React frontend) running on AWS. See https://pgjones.dev/tozo/ for details, code, and link to the example app.

Project mention: How to exit cleanly from flask and waitress running as a windows pywin32 service | reddit.com/r/codehunter | 2022-03-27
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?

As you can see, in this benchmark Starlite handily beats even blakchseep, a notoriously fast ASGI framework written in Cython

Project mention: Granian – a Rust HTTP server for Python applications | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-16
for those wishing to use http3 with a Python web framework, the ASGI hypercorn[1] currently supports it.
made a Django example last week with a sample client based on the examples from aioquic[2]: https://github.com/djstein/django-http3-example
this example also includes the first pass at async Django REST Framework using adrift[3] based on these GitHub issues:
