I found an interesting page on WSGI: http://pythonpaste.org/do-it-yourself-framework.html
A basic Hello World program would seem like this:
def application(environ, start_response):
start_response("200 OK", [("Content-type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8")])
s = """<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
HELLO, WORLD!
</body>
</html>"""
return [s]
I'm still going to use those tips on my Django powered sites, but this should be the way to go. BTW, one should add the wsgi middleware to one's Django settings (django.core.handlers.wsgi), I think.
