It doesn't. Paste provides an HTTP server. You can let it serve directly, or, more likely, put it behind another HTTP server that can proxy (I personally recommend Nginx, but lots of people use Apache/mod_proxy or Lighttpd). The advantage of of proxying is that you can let the proxy server also serve up static content (images, css) and this will be *much* faster than letting Pylons serve it. There's been some discussion on this list whether FastCGI is any faster than proxying but the results appear to be inconclusive. Either way, proxying is typically a bit easier to setup than FastCGI.
