I need to get the big picture about the different solutions to run a Python web application. >From what I read, it seems like this is the way things involved over the years: CGI : original method. Slow because the server has to spawn a new process to run the interpreter + script every time a script is run. mod_python : Apache module alternative to CGI. The interpreter is loaded once, and running a script means just handling the script mod_wsgi : mod_python is no longer developped, and mod_wsgi is its new reincarnation FastCGI and SCGI: Faster alternativees to CGI; Run as independent programs, and communicate with the web server through either a Unix socket (located on the same host) or a TCP socket (remote host) Is this correct?
