Running any Python script through FastCGI?

Added by littlebigman over 12 years ago

Hello

This is a newbie question.

I currently have Lighttpd working for PHP through FastCGI.

Now, I'd like to add support for Python scripts, either basic or WSGI.

I find the example at the very end of this article puzzling because it mentions a specific script:

"bin-path" => "test.py" 

How can I configure Lighttpd so that it'll run any .py script through FastCGI?

Thank you.

Your setup usually runs all php script with one FastCGI backend (the php-cgi binary), unless you configure different backends for different web users.

Python does not support this; the python interpreter itself is not a FastCGI application.
Instead some python scripts may be FastCGI applications, and you have to configure each of them separately.

Thanks for the explanation. So it looks like I'll have to try either Gunicorn or uWSGI with Lighttpd.
