wsgid 0.3

UNKNOWN

A backgrounding front-end over cherrypy (and potentially other web servers), with support for code reloading.

Examples

Run a server in the foreground after importing mywebapp.app as the application instance:

wsgid --application mywebapp.app --foreground

Run a server in the foreground after importing and calling mywebapp.create_app as the application factory:

wsgid --application_factory mywebapp.create_app -f

Run a daemonized server using the pidfile mypid.pid after importing and calling mywebapp.create_app as the application factory:

wsgid --application_factory mywebapp.create_app --pidfile mypid.pid

Stop a daemonized server using the pidfile mypid.pid:

wsgid --pidfile mypid.pid --stop

All these options have short versions, and can override defaults in config files or the environment.

Using config files

Ini-style config files can be used to provide any of the options available. For example, myserver.ini:

[ config ]

pidfile = mypid.pid
application_factory = mywebapp.crate_app

And then:

wsgid -c myserver.ini

Is equivalent to the above examples. Note that the actual section titles in the config file are ignored, and the file is essentially flattened.

Using the environment

Additionally any config variable can be overriden using the environment variables. The variable name is uppercased, and prefixed with WSGID_ to avoid collisions with other apps for common names. For example:

export WSGID_PIDFILE=mypid.pid

Is equivalent to passing the –pidfile on the command line.
