Just for fun I tried the following: 1) Installed Stackless Python 2.6.2 2) downloaded stacklesswsgi.py server from http://code.google.com/p/stacklessexamples/wiki/StacklessWSGI into web2py/ 3) create the following startup script # file: stackless_web2py.py import os import sys sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) import gluon.main import stacklesswsgi server = stacklesswsgi.Server(('127.0.0.1', 8001), gluon.main.wsgibase) server.start() 4) Run it with: /stackless/python2.6 stackless_web2py.py
It works out of the box, except that stacklesswsgi does not support ssl. I am not sure what the pros and cons of this are. In particular it is not clear to me what happens when web2py calls thread.allocate_lock() and acquires a lock. It would be interesting to benchmark (with ab) normal python vs stackless python and try dig whether there is any issue with multi-threading. I do not expect any advantage of stackless over normal python in the case of web2py it may open the doors to interesting applications (something like ninite for rails). This also an interesting application: http://muharem.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/erlang-vs-stackless-python-a-first-benchmark/ Massimo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
