you're reading the wrong blogs > 'IIS7-incompatible' that might be true, i have no idea. a big reason to stay far from IIS unfortunately, i've just checked that both Gunicorn and Tornado are *nix only. no big surprise, since both use modern prefork+events architectures, which are clumsy on windows (to say the least). so, i think you have few options: 1: find if IIS can do FastCGI (and it should) 2: switch to a complete webserver (apache, ligthttp, nginx) 3: switch platforms. in the long run, option 3 is the best; but dealing with management, inertia and zealotry are huge obstacles, and it would be seen as a Django limitation; so i would seriously try option 1 first. option 2 is very good also, and note that both ligthttp and nginx are growing in usage precisely because they're extremely light and fast. also, see the fact that both use FastCGI as the main method to connect with backend apps. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
