I have been developing for the web since 2002, but I have only been doing Python for the last few years, the "mod_python is dead" phase. In fact with the first site that I launched in python, I was starting to setup a beta environment with mod_python when my boss told me not to use it. Looking forward to reading up on the new release.

Why not just use the webserver as a proxy to gunicorn or uwsgi?

[gtrubetskoy]

Are you suggesting that a webserver is best used as a proxy, or that gunicorn and uwsgi are not webservers?

[axaxs]

I don't think he was suggesting either. In the suggested setup, the webserver can still be used as a webserver, giving you the power of years of development into security, modules, etc, while proxying through certain requests requiring custom application work - which passes to your local webserver. Neither is what I'd consider the primary role of the application, though.

I'm not sure about uWSGI, but Gunicorn's default worker was designed to be behind a proxy that buffers slow clients.
