You can allegedly connect Pylons to Twisted using Twisted's WSGI adapter, which runs the application in a separate thread, but I haven't heard of anybody doing this in production, or giving feedback how well it works. I would only use Twisted if (1) you really like Twisted, (2) your site will be extremely high-traffic, (3) your server needs to respond to other protocols alongside HTTP(S), and (4) you have plenty of time to test it. Otherwise I would recommend one of the other servers which have been proven to work with Pylons (Apache/ProxyPass, Apache/mod_wsgi, Nginx, etc). If by SSL you mean simply HTTPS, normally the front-end web server handles this (Apache, Nginx), and it communicates with Pylons via HTTP/WSGI/FastCGI. If you really want a *Python* web server that uses HTTPS, they probably exist but I don't know which ones. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
