Gunicorn

The (Gunicorn)[http://gunicorn.org/] web server for UNIX is preferred for Linux/OSX users who don't want to run a full ngingx/apache+uwsgi-python service. Using it is a snap:

• Install gunicorn: pip install gunicorn / apt-get install gunicorn
• cd $WEB2PY_HOME
• gunicorn -w 10 -t 1000 gluon.main:wsgibase
