Web Applications ================ Context ::::::: WSGI ---- Frameworks :::::::::: Django ------ Flask ----- Pyramid ------- Servers ::::::: Apache + mod_wsgi ----------------- Apache + mod_python ------------------- Nginx + gunicorn ---------------- Mongrel2 + wsgid ---------------- Mongrel2 is an application, language, and network architecture agnostic web server. It uses a high performance queue (zeromq) to communicate with you applications, all asynchronously. There is a well defined protocol to be used between mongrel2 and a backend handler (your app). Wsgid is a generic mongrel2 handler that speaks both mongrel2 protocol and WSGI. This makes it possible to run your python webapp written with any WSGI compliant framework. Wsgid has built-in Django support but has also a generic way to load your WSGI application object directly. It's possible to add support for other frameworks through wsgid's pluggable Apploading interface.
