Recently we moved from using fastcgi, to http proxy for our django app.

On the python side we are using Spawning, which was developed at  
Linden Lab I believe.

It's quite nice, and very light weight / fast. It seems to be thread  
safe too.

It starts a process which forks I/o processes the i/o procesed can  
either use forking or threading (we use threading). The master process  
manages them, restarting them if they die etc. It handles incoming  
connections and passes them to a free child process.

Fast, clean, efficient.
