Hi, While looking for WSGI support in nginx, I think it would be worth to take a look at phusion passenger [1] as it claims to support WSGI....even though their main focus is rails related stuff. Well, at least it seem to be actively developed and not as stale as mod_wsgi for nginx. I should try it myself any time soon.
