Green Unicorn
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a WSGI_ HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork
|
|
worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn_ project. The Gunicorn server is
|
|
broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light
|
|
on server resource usage, and fairly speedy.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to join us in `#gunicorn`_ on freenode_.
