Documentation on use outside of Apache mod_fcgi. about flipflop HOT 5 OPEN

I looked into the code, and I found no configuration for opening a listening socket. From this, I gather that this is built purely for use with apache. There is no possible way to use this with Nginx.

Yup; I abandoned this fork in favour of https://github.com/chxanders/flup3 or another straight port of Flup to Python 3.

It works fine on Nginx. This is what I'm using:

In /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   yourwebsite.localhost

In /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourwebsite.localhost

(note, this is not the complete file! just the flipflop specific bit)

location / {
    location ~ \.pyc$ {
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
        deny all;
    }
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.py?q=$uri&$args;
}

location ~ \.py$ {
    expires off;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9002;
}

To start:

cwd=`pwd`
spawn-fcgi -d "${cwd}" -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9002 "${cwd}/index.py"
sudo service nginx start

To stop:

sudo service nginx stop
cwd=`pwd`
kill `pgrep -f "python3 ${cwd}/index.py"`

That it requires an external, third-party tool to construct magic environment variables to make it work is unfortunate. Please, please, please expose explicit configuration within the Python API, as Flup previously did.

@golightlyb You mean It works fine on _INSERT_FAVOURITE_FCGI_CONTAINER_HERE_., not that it works fine on nginx. It needs a container.
