Ask HN: Running your web app on top of a python http server
When I noticed (via firebug) that Cuil (http://www.cuil.com) uses CherryPy as their web server, Three questions popped up in my mind:
a) Is it a smart decision?
b) Does it explains why they were down so many times in the last 24 hours.
c) Does anybody else is known to be using python servers in production instead of python application integrated via (cgi/fcgi/mod_wsgi) with apache/lighttpd/nginex and alike?
- seunosewa 18y agoI use CherryPy too, but it runs behind nginx. ( http://www.nairalist.com/ http://www.nairalist.com/ )
- macmac 18y agoLooks like these guys are using Twisted: http://www.python.org/about/success/projectpipe/ http://www.python.org/about/success/projectpipe/
- DintyMooreNE 18y agoJustin.tv uses a custom twisted-based server for all of their media serving. They consider it part of their proprietary advantage.
