Basically I was running CherryPy with supervisord+memmon since the application is a bit faulty. uWSGI alone can replace the whole stack: it comes with its own process manager, memory monitor and has Harakiri mode to monitor a process that is taking too long to response. Initial setup was super tricky (Nginx in FreeBSD port doesn't ship with uWSGI support and XML config somehow doesn't work, so I have to use Python config which the documentation is lacking) but it has been doing its job ever since. uWSGI is fast, has low memory footprint (a bit above Gevent/FAPWS) and is very reliable by itself. I'd recommend you to at least try it. The uWSGI documentation[1] was what got me interested.
