WSGI does FastCGI; PEAK in particular has WSGI gateways for both single-process and forking multi-process FastCGI, that can run as either "external" (you start the process and it listens on a connection) or "internal" (the web server starts the process with a socket on stdin). I believe others have implemented FastCGI gateways for WSGI as well. It's not rocket science, unless you need an extremely reliable setup. :) _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list [email protected] Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
