WSGI Servers
This is an alphabetic list of WSGI servers. In some cases these are WSGI-only systems, in other cases a package includes a server.
Please feel free to expand the list or descriptions. Direct links to documentation on how to use the server is especially appreciated.
An experimental threaded WSGI server implemented in C (it embeds a Python interpreter to run the actual application). It communicates with the web server via AJP, and is known to work with mod_jk and mod_proxy_ajp.
A pure-Python web server (using the CherryPy module mentioned next) with three hooks to hang your WSGI on. Currently alpha-quality, but it does have a nose-based test suite, reference documentation and a tutorial.
CherryPy's "high-speed, production ready, thread pooled, generic WSGI server." Includes SSL support. Supports Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
A fast HTTP server supporting WSGI, with extensions for Coroutine-based pages with deeply-integrated COMET support.
WSGI server with extensions for coroutine oriented programming.
FAPWS2 (Fast Asynchronous Python Web Server)
Doesn't have much documentation or a home page, but here it is. Based on libevent it's a fast and light Python native WSGI server.
fcgiapp is a Python wrapper for the C FastCGI SDK. It's used by PEAK's FastCGI servers to provide WSGI-over-FastCGI.
Includes threaded and forking versions of servers that support FastCGI, SCGI, and AJP protocols.
An implementation of WSGI for running as a ISAPI extension under IIS.
James provides a very simple multi-threaded WSGI server implementation based on the HTTPServer from Python's standard library. (unmaintained)
WSGI server built with M2Crypto and twisted.web2 with some SSL related tricks. Used with client side smart cards and it is also possible to run the HTTPS server with a key in a HSM (like a crypto token)
A WSGI server for Jython 2.1
A mod_python gateway
Python WSGI adapter module for Apache
In addition to other features, this includes a simple application server (based on Paste Deploy) that wraps several WSGI servers in a consistent configuration interface.
paste.httpserver is a threaded WSGI server. Doesn't support Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
python-fastcgi is a lightweight wrapper around the Open Market FastCGI C Library/SDK. It includes threaded and forking WSGI server implementations.
Pure python WSGI (PEP 333), CGI and web server classes which can be used to quickly create a powerful web or application server.
Experimental HTTP server with a WSGI implementation
Includes a threaded HTTP server.
Will be included in the Python 2.5 standard library; it includes a threaded HTTP server, a CGI server (for running any WSGI application as a CGI script), and a framework for building other servers.
