How to run Django on the latest Twisted web WSGI functionality

Django on Twisted using Twisted's (new) WSGI code

This directory contains an example of how to combine Twisted and Django using the latest WSGI functionality in twisted.web.

A more complete discussion of this code can be found here:

Install

1. Recommended: Use a virtualenv and install with pip, to get them type:

   easy_install virtualenv pip
   

2. Create a fresh virtualenv:

   virtualenv --no-site-packages twisted_wsgi_django_env
   

3. Install dependencies into your virtualenv:

   #You must have Django 1.0+ and Twisted 9.0.0+
   
   pip -E twisted_wsgi_django_env install twisted django
   

4. Get a copy of the example:

   curl http://github.com/clemesha/twisted-wsgi-django/tarball/master
   
   #Or clone a copy:
   
   $ git clone git://github.com/clemesha/twisted-wsgi-django.git
   

Run example

1. Move into your virtualenv and activate it:

   $ cd twisted_wsgi_django_env
   $ source bin/activate
   

2. Move into the example and do a syncdb:

   $ cd mydjangosite
   $ python manage.py syncdb #be sure to create an admin user
   

3. Move up one directory and run the example:

   $ cd .. #assume you are in 'mydjangosite'
   $ twistd -ny server.py #open localhost:8000 in browser
   

4. If you decide to build an application with this server and deploy it, you can start the server as a daemon with:

   $ twistd -y server.py #remember to change the port in server.py to choose an open port in your server.

twisted-wsgi-django's Issues

Extra slash at admin site login

Accessing http://localhost:8000/admin renders the form with action pointing to "//admin". When submitting, this leads to the browser ending up at http://admin/.

manage.py outdated

It seems you have this problem:

Maybe you could have a quick look?
And help is very appreciated.

wsgi requests are not handled when twistd daemonizes

fix: use the reactor's threadpool like:
wsgi_resource = wsgi.WSGIResource(reactor, reactor.getThreadPool(), WSGIHandler())
