I am setting up a web server with gunicorn + django. There are two deployment options: either use regular WSGI, or use gunicorn's django-integration. I'm tempted to use the latter, because it simplifies configuration, but the django documentation says this: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>If you are using Django 1.4 or newer, it’s highly recommended to simply run your application with the WSGI interface using the gunicorn command as described above. </code></pre> They give no explanation, so I wonder why it's "highly recommended" to go with WSGI? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Starting with Django 1.4, your project will already have a wsgi.py, which can be used with any wsgi server (of which there are many, gunicorn being just one). Essentially the old Django integration for gunicorn was just a convenience to get you up and running faster, but it's no longer necessary because all Django projects now have wsgi.py

Should I use django-gunicorn integration or wsgi?
