Title
Body
I have a simple webapp to build, and I am just beginning to mess around with mod_wsgi. In various tutorials, the first hello world app looks something like the following: def application(environ,start_response): response_body = 'Hello World' status = '200 OK' response_headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))] start_response(status, response_headers) return [response_body] Then, later the app includes a wsgi server using wsgiref, some variation of: from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server def application(environ, start_response): response_body = 'Hello World' status = '200 OK' response_headers = [('Content-Type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))] start_response(status, response_headers) return [response_body] httpd = make_server('localhost', 8000, application) httpd.serve_forever() The app works without the server, so what is the server for?
