quote from: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2007/07/web-hosting-landscape-and-modwsgi.html "Running applications in the Apache child processes would generally always result in the best performance possible when compared to other alternatives available for using Python with Apache such as mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi or even a second web server behind mod_proxy. This is because the Python application is running in the same process that is accepting and performing the initial parsing of the request from a client. In other words, overhead is as low as it can be as everything is done together in the one process." You could probobly get in touch with Graham, and ask him to add reverse proxy to the list. Second reason I choose mod_Wsgi /apache over reverse proxy is the fact that apache starts and stops my app, my logs are unified in one apache log file(including log rotation). There is no need for other programs to supervise my tg app. You can use apache to serv your static content . Can't beat the 4 lines of configuration in apache config file. Why would you go the harder way?
