I'm working on a little webapp project. Usually I just use plain old
Python CGI scripts for these things but this time I actually care
about performance a bit so I did some delving into the modern world of
Python webapps. Things are a lot better than they used to be. WSGI is the
standard Servlet API, web.py (small) and Django (big) are good app
frameworks, and Zope is mercifully
sliding to retirement. But I'm stubborn and want to do things my own
way, just use FastCGI to avoid invocation overhead.
Turns out it's easy on a Debian system. Install the packages python-flup and libapache2-mod-fastcgi. Then write a python2.4 program like this:
#!/usr/bin/python2.4
import flup.server.fcgi g = 0 def app(environ, start_response): global g status = '200 OK' response_headers = [('Content-type','text/plain')] start_response(status, response_headers) g += 1 return ['Hello world! %d\n' % g] if __name__ == '__main__': from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer WSGIServer(app).run() The one badness is that modifying your Python code won't force a code reload, which sucks for development. If you name your program "foo.cgi" Apache will invoke it as normal CGI and Flup supports that too, so that's what I'll do for now. Even if it behaves differently. |
