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

I've been using mod_wsgi for some time (I think trac recommended it). Interesting that this blog post is getting so much attention.

For apache (and I'm a fan of apache) it doesn't get any better.

I use mod_proxy to reverse-proxy to paste.httpserver. Much better, IMHO.

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

I've recently used nginx to reverse-proxy and load balance to both paste and mongrel. Much easier setup. If you're doing a custom app I tend to think this is better than running a big Apache up front.

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.
