not really WSGI is just a standard, a document that says "the web server will call the app as a function with such and such parameters, the app will return such and such values with the response" armed with that, any Python developer can write a web app just following the 'app' part of the standard, and any web server that wants to call those apps do the calls following the other part. specifically, mod_wsgi is the apache plugin that launches a Python interpreter and do all the calls according to the standard, and Django is a framework that follows the WSGI standard. besides, some WSGI-compliant servers need a little extra information to specify exactly what web app to call, and in mod_wsgi case, it's done with 'the wsgi file'. but this is specific to mod_wsgi, other servers do that differently. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
