Which webserver to use with bottle?

Question

Bottle can use several webservers:

Build-in HTTP development server and support for paste, fapws3, flup, cherrypy or any other WSGI capable server.

I am using Bottle for a desktop-app and I guess that the development server is enough in this case. I would like to know if some of you have experience with one of the alternative server.

Which server for which purpose?

Answer 1

Python WSGI web apps work fine in Apache, using mod_wsgi .

On Windows, I have WSGI web apps in production on IIS using isapi-wsgi

Answer 2

I shall recommend you with uWSGI , he is ultra fast!

Try to set up a nginx server with uWSGI-Python as backend to run your bottle app:)

Answer 3

I am now using waitress and it seems stable and fast. Moreover it is pure Python.

Answer 4

Here are some pretty comprehensive benchmarks of various Python web servers...

I've used Cherrypy and Paste with Bottle and had no problems with either.

Answer 5

Made a quick test with CherryPy , Paste , and Rocket with ApacheBench on localhost (Mac OS X 10.6) and Rocket was the fastest one. Even more stable with higher concurrency.

Answer 6

For a screamingly fast, ultra-lightweight asynchronous WSGI server check bjoern . It is written in C and uses libev .

Answer 7

我使用Gevent，非常快，新版本（gevent-1.1rc5）有一个SSL错误修复。
