Re: [PyWrapper-devel] Running PyWrapper on Windows with Apache

[Dring, M. <m.d...@BG...>]

Ricardo,
It might be best to evaluate if we cant move to mod_python/apache as the
recommended installation (apart from standalone which is really useful for
testing and quick setups). I havent followed the CherryPy developments, but
there must have been some changes happening there. As PyWrapper is based on
CherryPy thats the first source we should investigate:

http://www.cherrypy.org/

I agree it's the most disturbing part in setting up pywrapper, especially on
windows. Now that fastcgi doesnt seem to be supported anymore, I'd prefer to
ignore IIS and require apache on windows. If that works painlessly I think
we are fine.
