Thanks to the toil of the folks at conda-forge, you can try out PyPy, a fast alternative Python implementation.

Not everything is available yet, but the bot just keeps on migrating: there's still lots to do, so stay tuned!

There are many already existing powerful http servers that can be used in python e.g. gevent, twisted web server. However, they are a bit complex to use and you cannot start them in a thread other than the main thread.

Here is a sample of basic http server using "BaseHTTPRequestHandler". The example exposed two rest interfaces:

To ingest records into the web server
To retrieve already ingested records from the web server
The records are assumed to be JSON based, however, any type of records can be ingested.
