The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI, pronounced whiskey[1][2] or WIZ-ghee[3]) is a simple calling convention for web servers to forward requests to web applications or frameworks written in the Python programming language. The current version of WSGI, version 1.0.1, is specified in Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) 3333.
The Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) is a calling convention for web servers to forward requests to asynchronous -capable Python frameworks, and applications. It is built as a successor to the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI). Where WSGI provided a standard for synchronous Python application, ASGI provides one for both ...
Common Gateway Interface. In computing, Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is an interface specification that enables web servers to execute an external program to process HTTP or HTTPS user requests. Such programs are often written in a scripting language and are commonly referred to as CGI scripts, but they may include compiled programs.
Gunicorn. The Gunicorn "Green Unicorn" (pronounced jee-unicorn or gun-i-corn) [2] is a Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) HTTP server. It is a pre- fork worker model, ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with a number of web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources and fairly ...
Web server software allows computers to act as web servers. The first web servers supported only static files, such as HTML (and images), but now they commonly allow embedding of server side applications. Some web application frameworks include simple HTTP servers. For example the Django framework provides runserver, and PHP has a built-in server.
FastCGI. FastCGI is a binary protocol for interfacing interactive programs with a web server. It is a variation on the earlier Common Gateway Interface (CGI). FastCGI's main aim is to reduce the overhead related to interfacing between web server and CGI programs, allowing a server to handle more web page requests per unit of time.
mod_wsgi. mod_wsgi is an Apache HTTP Server module by Graham Dumpleton that provides a WSGI compliant interface for hosting Python based web applications under Apache. As of version 4.5.3, mod_wsgi supports Python 2 and 3 (starting from 2.6 and 3.2). [1] It is an alternative to mod_python, CGI, and FastCGI solutions for Python-web integration.
CherryPy is an object-oriented web application framework using the Python programming language. It is designed for rapid development of web applications by wrapping the HTTP protocol but stays at a low level and does not offer much more than what is defined in RFC 7231. CherryPy can be a web server itself or one can launch it via any WSGI ...
