While the "complexity" of uWSGI in latest times is questionable (documentation improved a lot and the quickstart introduce to basically everything you need), i always suggest newcomers to go pure-python (rocket, gunicorn, flup...) as compilation can be a problem sometimes. The problem is that once you start placing apps in constrained environments, you will soon start to face low-level problems (dealing with rss, address space, monitoring), something uWSGI is optimized for (for example you can tell it to reboot after a memory limit is reached and so on) In addition to this uWSGI uses lot less memory and supports threading that when you have few resources is a good approach for increasing concurrency. The "overkill" definition is really funny (you are not the first person saying it) becase generally uWSGI has hundreds more features than "competitors" but it is the one consuming less resources :) And just as a note (from the web2py directory, after having copied wsgihandler.py from the handlers directory): gunicorn --bind :9090 wsgihandler uwsgi --http-socket :9090 --wsgi wsgihandler is it so different ;) ? -- Roberto De Ioris http://unbit.it -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
