A more complete discussion of this code can be found here:

Install

1. Recommended: Use a virtualenv and install with pip, to get them type:

   easy_install virtualenv pip
   

2. Create a fresh virtualenv:

   virtualenv --no-site-packages twisted_wsgi_django_env
   

3. Install dependencies into your virtualenv:

   #You must have Django 1.0+ and Twisted 9.0.0+
   
   pip -E twisted_wsgi_django_env install twisted django
   

4. Get a copy of the example:

   curl http://github.com/clemesha/twisted-wsgi-django/tarball/master
   
   #Or clone a copy:
   
   $ git clone git://github.com/clemesha/twisted-wsgi-django.git
   

Run example

1. Move into your virtualenv and activate it:

   $ cd twisted_wsgi_django_env
   $ source bin/activate
   

2. Move into the example and do a syncdb:

   $ cd mydjangosite
   $ python manage.py syncdb #be sure to create an admin user
   

3. Move up one directory and run the example:

   $ cd .. #assume you are in 'mydjangosite'
   $ twistd -ny server.py #open localhost:8000 in browser
   

4. If you decide to build an application with this server and deploy it, you can start the server as a daemon with:

   $ twistd -y server.py #remember to change the port in server.py to choose an open port in your server.
