Bug 100784 – please mark dev-python/flup unstable

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jonas MG 2005-07-29 23:38:19 UTC]

"Flup is a set of WSGI servers/gateways, which speak AJP 1.3, FastCGI, and SCGI."

There isn't in portage a module that lets developing FastCGI in python.

I addition, it's being used with Django + Lighttpd :

You forgot to attach the ebuild, it seems. Or is this just a request?

[Comment 2 Jonas MG 2005-07-30 11:08:24 UTC]

Oh! Sorry, it was a request

[Comment 3 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2005-12-01 09:59:12 UTC]

That works for me (x86, python-2.4).  Thanks

It worked for me too; python 2.4 on amd64. Tested with web.py application
and lighttpd as a server.

Is there any reason why this isn't in portage?

Thanks,
    Alberto

Just as a side note, same ebuild but using flup 1849 (latest available
version at this time) works fine too.

Thanks,
    Alberto

[Comment 7 Andrey 2006-05-31 11:52:57 UTC]

Works just fine (amd64, python-2.4).

[Comment 8 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2006-08-05 04:46:55 UTC]

just a note, flup is currently in my overlay and is versioned differently than the attached ebuild (0.0_preXXXX) where XXXX is the subversion revision that the releases are named after, in case there is going to be a proper release in the future.

[Comment 9 Sam Jacobson 2006-12-07 03:48:12 UTC]

Just got flup installed on amd64 using r2172. The ebuild needs a dependency on setuptools (0.6_rc3 for r2172).

-DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4"
+DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4
+        >=dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc3"

Reassigning.

[Comment 11 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2007-01-13 22:46:35 UTC]

In CVS now.

[Comment 12 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2007-01-13 22:57:37 UTC]

Dear arch-team members. Please mark this package unstable since there are other packages (like django) which should depend on it (controlled by a  fastcgi USE-flag). Thanks in advance!

There are not tests which could be run, but you could try it using apache/mod_fastcgi and django...
Instructions:
1) cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs
2) startproject foo && cd foo
3) startapp bar
4) Add the following line to your localhost's vhost directive:
ScriptAlias /foobar /var/www/localhost/htdocs/foo/bar.fcgi
5) Add the following file as /var/www/localhost/htdocs/foo/bar.fcgi:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, os

# Add a custom Python path.
sys.path.insert(0, "/var/www/localhost/htdocs")

# Switch to the directory of your project. (Optional.)
# os.chdir("/home/user/myproject")

# Set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "foo.settings"

from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi("method='threaded', daemonize='false'")
6) Visit http://localhost/foobar/

oki, after finding out i missed django-admin before step 2,3 (you can emerge django with USE="examples" and use them)
I get as far as the following in my /var/log/lighttpd/error.log:

2007-02-19 23:16:50: (mod_fastcgi.c.2536) FastCGI-stderr: Traceback (most recent call last):

Now whose error is this?

[Comment 14 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2007-02-20 08:12:34 UTC]

What did you use as URL? Adding a slash should help :)

Indeed, had the same error in apache with mod_fcgid.  Using a slash fixed it.

~ia64 done.

[Comment 16 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2007-04-09 22:57:12 UTC]

~ppc added, finally. Many thanks to hoffie and dev-zero for holding my hand during my experiments with lighttpd :)
