Django as Server

[Gaurav Jindal]

This line was written in the 1st tutorial :

"We’re in the business of making Web frameworks, not Web servers."

Does that mean that Django can be used only for making Web Frameworks?

If not then is there any good tutorial to get started with that, because my aim is to use python at my server which will interact with MongoDB(using pymongo), and satisfy the request from client.

I might be wrong in quoting my need as I am from PHP background, where my PHP script run on apache & also interacts with MySQL. I want this kind of setup only, but this time using Python and MongoDB.

Thanks for help in advance

Hi Gaurav,

Django is not “used to create” web frameworks. Django “is” a web framework. It has a included “web server” only for development purpose. They focus on django itself, so they do not work as much on the development web server included. 

Thats why we use nginx, gunicorn, and so on when deploying on production.

Hope u get it!

Cheers

 John
