Question

I’m serving files in ubuntu using Nginx and fcgi, python and web.py. My index.py contents are:

app = web.application(urls, globals(), True)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    web.wsgi.runwsgi = lambda func, addr=None: web.wsgi.runfcgi(func, addr)
    app.run()

And I’m launching with:

spawn-fcgi -n -d /usr/share/nginx/www -f ~/Projects/index.py -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9002

Which works fine, EXCEPT, once I make changes to the source files (index.py or any class it includes), those new files are never loaded. I have to stop spawn-fcgi and restart it to see any changes. This make development very cumbersome.

In addition I’ve turned off the generation of python .pyc/cache files.

TIA

Answer 1

I deploy my apps using nginx+uwsgi or apache+mod_wsgi, both of them reload app if I touch code.py. But I run apps from integrated server when developing.

If running web.py integrated server in development mode that has its own reloader is not an option then the only option is to write your own dispatcher with reload functionality.
