Paste.httpserver - serve on socket

I am working with python buildout and want do deploy a diazo wsgi. So far, I managed to do so, but I want to make the app listen on a socket file, not an Ip:Port.

Is this possible with paste.httpserver or is there an alternative package to serve that provides just a socket.

Solution

  • Indeed, it is possible with waitress

    First bin/pip install waitress, then review your proxy.ini and edit the server:main section, to use waitress instead of paste.httpserver

    [server:main]
use = egg:waitress#main
unix_socket = var/run/diazo.sock

    Voila. Paster is now serving HTTP on a unix socket.
