How to create mysite.wsgi file?

Question

I am following this tutorial http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html to setup django with nginx and uwsgi. But I am confused about this line:

uwsgi --http :8000 --module mysite.wsgi

In the tutorial there's nothing about mysite.wsgi file. What should be the content of this file?

Answer 1

Actually, that's not a filename.

That's a python module path.

The relevant file is actually mysite/wsgi.py (but to import it in a python interpreter, you'd have to import mysite.wsgi, hence the name used in command line).
