Until recently Python has lacked a minimal low-level server/application interface for async frameworks. The [ASGI specification][asgi] fills this gap, and means we're now able to start building a common set of tooling usable across all async frameworks.
This will install uvicorn with minimal (pure Python) dependencies.
