Need a lightweight, standalone web server for Django

I have a Django web application which should be easy to install on Linux systems. The app does not need much performance. It is just a simple web GUI for some services. So a full-blown deployment with Apache is not needed. I am looking for a lightweight web server that has little or no configuration; just like the Django development server.

It should be possible开发者_JS百科 to run it as daemon, though.

Any suggestions?

You can use Quick and dirty multi-threaded Django dev server.

But, configuring apache or fastcgi to server django applications is not a hard thing, so you should really do that.

I would use Green Unicorn with nginx, very light weight and fast. It does has some configuration unfortunately, so it might not be ideal for you, but worth checking out.

Here is a blog post that explains how to set it up with supervisord.
