Project description
django-waitress
===============
Run a production-ready server from manage.py!
This Django app just provides a management command that serves your Django project using Waitress, a production-ready and `Heroku-friendly <heroku>`_ WSGI server.
.. _heroku: http://blog.etianen.com/blog/2014/01/19/gunicorn-heroku-django/
Usage
-----
.. code-block:: sh
# Serve on http://0.0.0.0:7000
python manage.py serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7000
# Serve on the Unix socket /var/run/myapp
python manage.py serve --unix /var/run/myapp
# Serve on the host defined by WAITRESS_HOST
# and the port defined by WAITRESS_PORT
# in settings.py
# (defaults to localhost:8000)
python manage.py serve
Alternatives
------------
You could just install Waitress itself, and run the ``waitress-serve`` command it provides, pointing to your ``wsgi.py`` file; the only thing that this project does is provide a Django management command, and remove the need for a ``wsgi.py`` in your project.
