Green Unicorn
=============
Green Unicorn (gunicorn) is an HTTP/WSGI Server for UNIX designed to serve fast clients and nothing else.
This is a port of Unicorn_ in Python. Meet us on the `#gunicorn IRC channel`_ on Freenode_.
Gunicorn is released under the MIT License. See the LICENSE_ for more details.
Features
--------
- Designed for Unix, WSGI, and fast clients
- Compatible with Python 2.x (>= 2.5)
- Easy integration with Django_ and Paster_ compatible applications (Pylons, TurboGears 2, ...)
- Process management: Gunicorn_ reaps and restarts workers that die.
- Load balancing via pre-fork and a shared socket
- Graceful worker process restarts
- Upgrade "àla nginx" without losing connections
- Simple and easy Python configuration
- Decode chunked transfers on-the-fly, allowing upload progress notifications or
stream-based protocols over HTTP
- Post- and pre-fork hooks
