Hello,
I've looked at the web servers that come bundled with the Python
standard library[1] and they are too slow.
Apparently you have debugged your speed issue so I suppose you don't have
performance problems anymore. Do note, however, that Python is generally
not as fast as C -- especially for low-level stuff -- and a Python Web
server will probably serve around 10x less requests per second than a C
Web server like Apache (this will still give you hundreds of simple
requests per second on a modern machine).
I don't think that number is fair for Python. I think a well written
Python web server can perform in the same ballpark as most mainstream
web servers written in C. Especially Apache, which really isn't a top
performer. And I'm pretty sure a well written Python server can
outperform a badly written C based server easily.
