Gateways Documentation

This page contains the Gateways Package documentation.

The fcgi Module

fcgi - a FastCGI/WSGI gateway.

For more information about FastCGI, see <http://www.fastcgi.com/>.

For more information about the Web Server Gateway Interface, see <http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html>.

Example usage:

#!/usr/bin/env python from myapplication import app # Assume app is your WSGI application object from fcgi import WSGIServer WSGIServer(app).run()

See the documentation for WSGIServer/Server for more information.

On most platforms, fcgi will fallback to regular CGI behavior if run in a non-FastCGI context. If you want to force CGI behavior, set the environment variable FCGI_FORCE_CGI to “Y” or “y”.
