This, of course, is not optimal and you wouldn't use it for production.

In production you would have one of the options above.

But it's the simplest way to focus on the server-side of WebSockets and have a working example:

{* ../../docs_src/websockets/tutorial001_py39.py hl[2,6:38,41:43] *}

## Create a `websocket` { #create-a-websocket }

# First Steps { #first-steps }

The simplest FastAPI file could look like this:

{* ../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001_py39.py *}

Copy that to a file `main.py`.

Run the live server:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ <font color="#4E9A06">fastapi</font> dev <u style="text-decoration-style:solid">main.py</u>

  <span style="background-color:#009485"><font color="#D3D7CF"> FastAPI </font></span>  Starting development server 🚀

If you can use the **latest versions of Python**, use the examples for the latest version, those will have the **best and simplest syntax**, for example, "**Python 3.10+**".

#### List { #list }

For example, let's define a variable to be a `list` of `str`.

Declare the variable, with the same colon (`:`) syntax.

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install sqlmodel
---> 100%
```

</div>

## Create the App with a Single Model { #create-the-app-with-a-single-model }

We'll create the simplest first version of the app with a single **SQLModel** model first.

Later we'll improve it increasing security and versatility with **multiple models** below. 🤓

### Create Models { #create-models }

quote. A single quoted character represents the Unicode value
of the character itself,
while multi-character sequences beginning with a backslash encode
values in various formats.

<p>
The simplest form represents the single character within the quotes;
since Go source text is Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, multiple
UTF-8-encoded bytes may represent a single integer value.  For
