For more information about FastCGI, see http://www.fastcgi.com/.

For more information about the Web Server Gateway Interface, see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html.

Example usage:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from myapplication import app # Assume app is your WSGI application object
from fcgi import WSGIServer
WSGIServer(app).run()

See the documentation for WSGIServer for more information.

On most platforms, fcgi will fallback to regular CGI behavior if run in a non-FastCGI context. If you want to force CGI behavior, set the environment variable FCGI_FORCE_CGI to “Y” or “y”.
