<h2>Green Unicorn</h2>
<p>Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/">WSGI</a> HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork
worker model ported from Ruby's <a class="reference external" href="http://unicorn.bogomips.org/">Unicorn</a> project. The Gunicorn server is
broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light
on server resource usage, and fairly speedy.</p>
