Deploying Django

Django’s chock-full of shortcuts to make Web developer’s lives easier, but all those tools are of no use if you can’t easily deploy your sites. Since Django’s inception, ease of deployment has been a major goal. There’s a number of good ways to easily deploy Django:

• How to deploy with WSGI
• Deployment checklist

FastCGI support is deprecated and will be removed in Django 1.9.

• How to use Django with FastCGI, SCGI, or AJP

If you’re new to deploying Django and/or Python, we’d recommend you try mod_wsgi first. In most cases it’ll be the easiest, fastest, and most stable deployment choice.
