Application frameworks
BlackSheep
BlackSheep is an asynchronous web framework to build event based web applications with Python. It is inspired by Flask, ASP.NET Core, and the work by Yury Selivanov.
Channels
Asynchronous support for Django, and the original driving force behind the ASGI project. Supports HTTP and WebSockets with Django integration, and any protocol with ASGI-native code.
Django
The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. Has native ASGI support since version 3.0.
Falcon
The minimalist REST and app backend framework for Python, with a focus on reliability, correctness, and performance at scale. Native ASGI support since version 3.0.
