Python plugin with support for WSGI

mliezun · February 16, 2024, 8:59pm

Im working on a plugin that embeds the Python interpreter in Caddy and can serve requests directly without going through a reverse proxy or starting a new process (CGI).
It’s called caddy-snake and available to be bundled with caddy. It requires CGO when building.

This is awesome. It’s one of our oldest feature requests:

github.com/caddyserver/caddy

Add WSGI directive for serving Python apps

I don't have time (or expertise) to contribute this but I'd definitely be intere…sted in using it so I figured I'd create the feature request and try to gather interest. I :heart: Caddy and want to use it for all the things. That includes serving up my Django app via WSGI. I imagine this working similar to the `proxy` directive where you tell it to serve some directory via WSGI. (Forgive my perhaps incorrect use of terms, I'm a Python noob.) I found [this package](http://godoc.org/bitbucket.org/classroomsystems/wsgi) for serving WSGI apps via Go but not sure of its production readiness.

Thanks for building and sharing it!

Thanks!

I was looking for a plugin like this myself and I couldn’t find one so I decided to build it
