or instead use lighttpd with FastCGI and web.py. something like this... http://webpy.org/recommended_setup

Even reddit, the developers of web.py, aren't using it anymore.

How do you know it? Http header viewer shows Reddit use lighttpd/1.4.13.

He is referring to: http://reddit.com/info/29qac/comments/c29rpx

Summary if you don't know the story: aaronsw wrote web.py, founded Infogami (yc funded) and merged with Reddit. Then he had a falling out with spez and kn0thing (original founders of Reddit). When Reddit was rewritten, web.py was not used.

I personally like web.py. Any of you using it for your startup/projects? (May be we can swap tips) If you are not using web.py for a particular reason, can you please share that too?

Steve is too lazy (in the good sense) to have ditched web.py for anything except legitimate technical reasons.

Thank you. This is exactly what I was wondering about and wanted to know from someone in the know.

Spez had mentioned, off-handedly, that there tend to be painful bugs in the main web.py distributions:

I've been using web.py for about a month for a small side project. I like it very much, but there are some pretty big things that are missing. Like, having to write a GET handler to serve images, for instance.

[nostrademons]

If you keep your images (and CSS, and Javascript) in a /static directory, the built-in webserver will serve them automatically. When you deploy to production you can setup aliases in your HTTP conf to handle it.

nice...thanks!
