would be familiar to flask users. That's true, but not the point.
I find that flask's approach to this is quite pythonic. It's also
relatively easy to use and explain. With this approach, as demonstrated by
the example I provided, any dev can spin up a server that serves an API in
virtually no time, which is why, out of all the possible approaches (Having
an
I can't help the feeling that this is much more appropriate for PyPI than
for the stdlib. There are just too many different ways to do it. (For
example, what if the user isn't familiar with flask?)
