Hello all, I'm new to WSGI and relatively new to Python. I'm at UIC and we're working to add Python + Django support to our free webhosting options for our students and staff, but I seem to have hit a bit of a snag. The main webserver we use is Apache httpd and we do all of our application support outside of Apache. So students and staff can on their own create applications and each application can run as its own user credentials. This means running an apachectl graceful restart after each application is created or registered. For applications that use FastCGI we use the FastCGIExternalServer directive and start and stop applications separate from Apache. This makes it easy for a user to restart just their application and not have their application restart when apache restarts...
I see that mod_wsgi daemon mode has various features we need, but we don't want our python apps restarted when apache restarts. Is there a way of running the wsgi application externally and specifying a socket for mod_wsgi to talk to it? Something along the lines of mod_fastcgi's FastCGIExternalServer directive? If not, would anyone else be looking for this feature? For now we're looking into using Django with fastcgi, but since that is now deprecated we need to figure out another approach if we're going to deliver Python + Django to our staff and students.
