Python *has* subinterpreters... (see the Apache mod_wsgi implementation as an example).

I'm using only the main interpreter because I want to keep the code as simple as possible.

As I have written, my design goal is not to write a general module like mod_perl (or Apache mod_wsgi), but to just use nginx to have a HTTP server for serving WSGI applications (with mod_perl you can set nginx variables, too).

I'm using nginx since it is much simpler to write a module (it is simpler than writing Apache modules!) than a full HTTP server from scratch).

However I'm interested in the reconfiguration problem. Can you give me more details?

This is not a really big problem, since the *right way* to deploy mod_wsgi is to use another nginx proxy server behind the nginx server with mod_wsgi; so I can just restart the server (and the proxy can limit the number of request to the wsgi nginx server).

By the way, I'm also planning to release a stripped down version of nginx, to be used as a stand alone server to serve WSGI applications and with command line support for the most used options (I can write a wrapper in Python that write a temporary configuration file).
