I'm glad to see the recently-added Python proposals for the Open Source Bridge conference, and will be glad to see more.

I also like Kirby's suggestion of providing taxonomy to differentiate the various servers. You might find some more dimensions to cover listed in the various tables at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_servers That all said, I find that I can pick the appropriate web server by seeing how well my needs fit some very simple criteria: * Apache: Do I need a very easy way to run apps written in PHP, Ruby (mod_passenger), Python (mod_wsgi), Perl (mod_perl), FastCGI, etc? * Nginx: Do I need a very fast, super efficient, totally reliable server for static content or a simple proxy? * Lighttpd: Why would I choose a server that's inferior in all ways to Apache and Nginx? * HAproxy: Do I need a sophisticated but finicky high-availability proxy server? * CherryPy: Do I need to run CherryPy apps, e.g., TurboGears 1.x? * Thin: Do I need to run Ruby apps on a server where I can't install Passenger? * Mongrel: Why would I choose a server that's inferior in all ways to Thin and Passenger? I'm currently using all the above servers, other than Lighttpd. > I think I'm also going to submit a proposal on Django because Python > seems under-represented on the proposals list: > > http://opensourcebridge.org/events/2009/proposals/ I think that intro and advanced Django talks would be well-received and well-attended. -igal _______________________________________________ Portland mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/portland
