Description: What is aioscgi?
        ================
        
        aioscgi is a container implementing the Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface
        (ASGI_) to serve up asynchronous Web applications via the Simple Common Gateway
        Interface protocol.
        
        
        What is SCGI?
        =============
        
        SCGI is a protocol used for communication between HTTP servers and Web
        applications. Compared to CGI, SCGI is more efficient because it does not fork
        and execute a separate instance of the application for every request; instead,
        the application is launched ahead of time and receives multiple requests
        (either sequentially or concurrently) via socket connections. Compared to
        FastCGI, SCGI is a much simpler protocol as it uses a separate socket
        connection for each request, rather than including framing within a single
        connection to multiplex requests (a feature which is rarely used in FastCGI
        anyway due to the lack of per-request flow control).
        
        See the Wikipedia_ and Python_ SCGI pages for more information.
        
        
        How do I install it?
        ====================
        
        aioscgi’s releases are published on PyPI for installation through pip. You can
        run ``pip install aioscgi``.
        
        For development, the source is available at GitLab_ and GitHub_.
        
        
        How do I use it?
        ================
        
        aioscgi installs an ``aioscgi`` executable. If your ASGI application callable
        is named ``myapp`` and is in a file called ``mypackage/mymodule.py``, you might
        run ``aioscgi --unix-socket /path/to/socket mypackage.mymodule:myapp``. For
        full details on available options, run ``aioscgi --help``.
