1. NAME

scgi-wsgi - WSGI adapter for SCGI

2. SYNOPSIS

scgi-wsgi [-hA] [-p MODPATH] [-T [HOST:]PORT] HANDLER-MODULE [ARGS…]

3. DESCRIPTION

The scgi-wsgi program translates SCGI requests to WSGI requests, and passes them to a specified Python module. It is mainly written to emulate the behavior of ashd-wsgi(1), but over SCGI instead of the native ashd(7) protocol, so please see its documentation for details of Python interoperation. Unlike ashd-wsgi which requires CPython, however, scgi-wsgi is written in pure Python using only the standard library, and so should be usable by any Python implementation. If using it under ashd(7), please see the documentation for callscgi(1) as well.

Following callscgi(1) conventions, scgi-wsgi will, by default, accept connections on a socket passed on its standard input (a behavior which is, obviously, not available on all Python implementations). Use the -T option to listen to a TCP address instead.

4. OPTIONS

-h: Print a brief help message to standard output and exit.
-A: Use the convention used by Apache’s mod_wsgi module to find the WSGI application object. See the PROTOCOL section of ashd-wsgi(1) for details.
-p MODPATH: Prepend MODPATH to Python’s sys.path; can be given multiple times.
-T [HOST:]PORT: Instead of using a listening socket passed on standard input to accept SCGI connections, bind a TCP socket to the HOST address listening for connections on PORT instead. If HOST is not given, localhost is used by default.
