I've seen a few I think, but I'm not sure -- probably nothing that would help him that much. There's some links on http://wsgi.org/wsgi/Learn_WSGI -- but I think they are all more for applications, not for people implementing servers. If Nginx wanted to support Python really well, I think doing process management would be the most ideal way to do that. That's kind of what FastCGI does, but with lots of different options and some general confusion. Nginx could potentially implement FastCGI (or a protocol like SCGI or any other over-the-wire protocol they thought best) with intelligently chosen process management, potentially with a client library (maybe a customized Flup) that invoked everything properly. It's really more of an integration issue than a protocol issue. But if Nginx makes the integration clear, easy, and robust then they'd create something quite useful. And probably applicable to other languages like Ruby as well. -- Ian Bicking : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://blog.ianbicking.org : Write code, do good : http://topp.openplans.org/careers _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
