gunicorn

Since I read about Green Unicorn, better known as gunicorn, a Python WSGI HTTP server that goes along very well with Django, I knew I had to try it, and trying it I did. And I liked it. There were many steps to make a server work but overall it was cleaner than other approaches, including the Django deployment using Nginx, Apache and mod_wsgi that I described long time ago. And many reports indicate that a Django setup with gunicorn performs better than one using Apache.

But when you have to setup many servers with the same configuration, the process gets boring and repetitive, and when you're bored you make mistakes. This is the perfect scenario for automating with Python and a Fabric script.
