Hi,
wanted to ask for some help in getting django running with
twisted webserver for my experiments.

Using Python 2.6
Twisted 8.2.0
Django 1.0.2
on windows xp for now.

I searched the documentation , most of the blog entries/etc were
in '07 about this setup.  And most refer to web2 plugin for twisted
as it support for wsgi.

I looked at the web2 page on twisted matrix and it said that its
functionality will be ported back to 'web' module as they become stable.
I then browsed 'web' module subdirectory and I saw wsgi there
(and I assume this is what's needed for django).

So to shorten the story, this is what I tried:
I downloaded the example web server web.py, made sure it works
with the test file (and it does).

Then I added another 'processor' for files with extensions .wpy

root.processors = {
           '.cgi': twcgi.CGIScript,
           '.php3': twcgi.PHP3Script,
           '.php': twcgi.PHPScript,
'.wpy':  wsgi.WSGIResource,
           '.epy': script.PythonScript,
           '.rpy': script.ResourceScript,
           '.trp': trp.ResourceUnpickler,
}


WSGIResource isn't a "processor", so you can't add it to the processors
dictionary like this.


then I created a simple django file
------------- views.wpy ------------
from django.http import HttpResponse

def hello(request):
   return HttpResponse("Hello world")
--------------------------------------

I don't think HttpResponse instances are wsgi applications, nor is that
hello function.


and tried to run it.  That, of course did not work,
for one because I did not create a 'resource' global.

But basically, I do not think I am going right way about it,
therefore decided to stop and ask.


Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithDjango
which explains how to create a Django WSGI application object.

Then, take a look at 
<http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/attachment/ticket/3510/t.w.wsgi-doc.diff> which 
is a work-in-progress Twisted documentation
addition which explains how to serve a WSGI application using Twisted Web's
WSGI container.

Once you understand those two pieces, you should be able to combine them
and get a working Twisted Web/Django server.
