I am quite biased against Windows but in general would say that Windows is not as a good a hosting platform for complex Python web applications. If you are only running only simple stuff however and are more comfortable with Windows than UNIX systems, it may be more than adequate for you. Do be aware that on Windows you do loose out on certain features in mod_wsgi which are only available in mod_wsgi daemon mode on UNIX systems. Whether that will be an issue I cant say as depends on what your scripts are doing. BTW, how many separate scripts do you have? I ask because by default in configuration you are running, each will be given a separate sub interpreter within the process. If you have lots of scripts that will take more and more memory. It may be appropriate to force them to all run in same sub interpreter, but then you need to make sure your scripts can happily coexist within same interpreter memory space.
