Simple uwsgi + wsgi app

No Nginx, using uWSGI embedded HTTP server.

First, we create a Python virtual environment and install uswgi in it:

vic@vic-X202E ~/projects » mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python uwsgi
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python
New python executable in uwsgi/bin/python
Installing setuptools............................done.
Installing pip...............done.

[uwsgi] vic@vic-X202E ~/projects » pip install uwsgi
Downloading/unpacking uwsgi
  Downloading uwsgi-1.9.9.tar.gz (617kB): 617kB downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package uwsgi
  ...
Successfully installed uwsgi
Cleaning up...

Then we run uwsgi pointing it to our wsgi application:

[uwsgi] vic@vic-X202E ~/projects/test-uwsgi » uwsgi --http :8080 --wsgi myapp:app

myapp.py:

import cgi


def app(environ, start_response):

    parameters = cgi.parse_qs(environ.get('QUERY_STRING', ''))

    # get the `name` parameter if exists
    name = parameters.get('name', ['World'])[0]

    # return headers
    start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/html')])

    # return body
    return ['Hello %s!' % name]

Now you see a simple "Hello world" page on URL http://localhost:8080/?name=Victor.
