With **FastAPI** you get all of **Pydantic**'s features (as FastAPI is based on Pydantic for all the data handling):

* **No brainfuck**:
    * No new schema definition micro-language to learn.
    * If you know Python types you know how to use Pydantic.
* Plays nicely with your **<abbr title="Integrated Development Environment, similar to a code editor">IDE</abbr>/<abbr title="A program that checks for code errors">linter</abbr>/brain**:

 * and pattern-based checks are performed.
 *
 * <p>If you know that a given string represents a numeric IP address, use {@link InetAddresses} to
 * obtain and manipulate a {@link java.net.InetAddress} instance from it rather than using this
 * class. Similarly, if you know that a given string represents a domain name, use {@link
 * InternetDomainName} rather than this class.

   From the stack trace it looks like you are hitting windows path length limit.
      * Try to disable path length limit on Windows 10.

# Environment Variables { #environment-variables }

/// tip

If you already know what "environment variables" are and how to use them, feel free to skip this.

///

An environment variable (also known as "**env var**") is a variable that lives **outside** of the Python code, in the **operating system**, and could be read by your Python code (or by other programs as well).

You could still use most of the features in **FastAPI** with the knowledge from the main [Tutorial - User Guide](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

import okio.GzipSink
import okio.buffer

internal class GzipRequestBody(
  val delegate: RequestBody,

  override fun contentType() = delegate.contentType()

  // We don't know the compressed length in advance!
  override fun contentLength() = -1L

  override fun writeTo(sink: BufferedSink) {
    GzipSink(sink).buffer().use(delegate::writeTo)
  }

So you wait for your crush to finish the story (finish the current work ⏯ / task being processed 🤓), smile gently and say that you are going for the burgers ⏸.
