Responder: a familiar HTTP Service Framework for Python

This gets you a ASGI app, with a production static files server pre-installed, jinja2
templating (without additional imports), and a production webserver based on uvloop,
serving up requests with gzip compression automatically.

Installing Responder
Install the stable release:
$ pipenv install responder
✨🍰✨

Or, install from the development branch:
$ pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/taoufik07/responder.git#egg=responder

Only Python 3.6+ is supported.
The Basic Idea
The primary concept here is to bring the niceties that are brought forth from both Flask
and Falcon and unify them into a single framework, along with some new ideas I have. I
also wanted to take some of the API primitives that are instilled in the Requests
library and put them into a web framework. So, you'll find a lot of parallels here with
Requests.

Setting resp.content sends back bytes.
Setting resp.text sends back unicode, while setting resp.html sends back HTML.
Setting resp.media sends back JSON/YAML (.text/.html/.content override this).
Case-insensitive req.headers dict (from Requests directly).
resp.status_code, req.method, req.url, and other familiar friends.

Ideas

Flask-style route expression, with new capabilities -- all while using Python 3.6+'s
new f-string syntax.
I love Falcon's "every request and response is passed into to each view and mutated"
methodology, especially response.media, and have used it here. In addition to
supporting JSON, I have decided to support YAML as well, as Kubernetes is slowly
taking over the world, and it uses YAML for all the things. Content-negotiation and
all that.
A built in testing client that uses the actual Requests you know and love.
The ability to mount other WSGI apps easily.
Automatic gzipped-responses.
In addition to Falcon's on_get, on_post, etc methods, Responder features an
on_request method, which gets called on every type of request, much like Requests.
A production static file server is built-in.
Uvicorn built-in as a production web server. I would have chosen Gunicorn, but it
doesn't run on Windows. Plus, Uvicorn serves well to protect against slowloris
attacks, making nginx unnecessary in production.
GraphQL support, via Graphene. The goal here is to have any GraphQL query exposable at
any route, magically.
Provide an official way to run webpack.
