A new WSGI-server?

[MrMuffin]

I've been looking at Django the last few days and think about migrating
my current project from CherryPy. But I don't want to rely on
Apache/mod_python, but a pure python WSGI-server, even for production
environment. My sites wont have huge amount of traffic either. The one
included in Django is aimed at development/testing only according to
the Django docs. CherryPy has one written by Peter Hunt that's
framework agnostic and better performance-wise ( I'm told ) than the
one in wsgiref.

Could Django use the WSGI-server instead? Has anybody here tried it ?

Django *should* be able to plug into any WSGI-compliant server or CGI
adaptor. I know there was discussion recently about how to get it working
with lighthttpd and fcgi, for example.

If you want another high-performance WSGI-compliant pure python web server,
you could do worse thna to look at Twisted, <http://twisedmatrix.com/>
though I don't know if anyone has tried adapting django to work with it.
You'll find the people in #twisted.web on freenode quite helpful when it
comes to working out how to set it up though.

Does anyone know if Zope is, as yet, capable of acting as a WSGI server?

If you come into difficulties due to the WSGI-compliance part, then I
suggest asking on here, or filing a bug. The code is over in
django.core.handlers.wsgi

Zope, at least in his 3.x incarnation, is going to abandon the Medusa based
server in favor of Twisted web 2 (thru WSGI). This change is actually planned
to land in Zope 3.2, due on december 2005.
