> I really want to like (and use) uWSGI, for many reasons, but I find it's lacking severely in the department of documentation (searching "uwsgi" on Amazon gives zero hits!).

uWSGI definitely needs more concise tutorials on how to accomplish some tasks (e.g. creating Hello World with python and uWSGI, or how the uWSGI emperor works).

However I disagree with "lacking severely in the department of documentation"

Sure, it's not as easy as some other projects to dive into (e.g. Django) but IMHO the documentation is not lacking, it's just not forthcoming.

If you sit down and read through the uWSGI documentation, you'll discover a lot of very useful functionality and a reasonable description of how to utilise it.

What's lacking is the tl;dr way to bash something out quick and dirty.

https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/WSGIquickstart.h... it seems very quick and straight to the point (yet complete, it even starts with apt-get)

https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Emperor.html - has config snippets too

Or maybe you mean detailed step by step instructions, a'la howtoforge?

Yes, this is what I meant when I said
