Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources, and fairly speedy. You can run Gunicorn by using commands or integrate with popular frameworks like Django, Pyramid, or TurboGears. For deploying Gunicorn in production see Deploying Gunicorn. After installing Gunicorn you will have access to the command line script gunicorn. Gunicorn also provides integration for Django and Paste Deploy applications. Gunicorn will look for a WSGI callable named application if not specified. So for a typical Django project. Frameworks such as Pyramid and Turbogears are typically configured using Paste Deployment configuration files. If you would like to use these files with Gunicorn, there are two approaches. As a server runner, Gunicorn can serve your application using the commands from your framework, such as pserve or gearbox.
