in terms of speed?

i've never had an issue with speed for either. unless you are pushing tons of stuff through, i doubt you would either.

in the end, unless speed is REALLY a factor, it comes down to, which do you find easier to maintain.

i find proxied setups easier to maintain. i abhor setting up and maintaing fastcgi, so the choice for me is always easy.

Nothing yet - was going to either use Paste/WebOb or web.py; looking for benchmarks for the smaller frameworks. However, I'm not adverse to using something a little different if its preferable for nginx. I understand sockets are faster than TCP, but is fastcgi better than upstream?

do you have an upstream server such as cherrypy already setup?

if yes, that is going to be your fastest route.

Which would be fastest/preferable to connect nginx to python? FastCGI (using Flup or similar) or the upstream module proxying to an http server such as cherrypy? <phill.vcf>
