Should I use Pylon's Paste to host my Pylons website? Or can I use Apache?

Question

I'm looking into Pylons and was wondering, should I use Paste as the webserver or can I use Apache?

Are there advantages to using Paste?
Would you recommend against using Apache?

How should I host the sites?

Answer 1

I guess it depends on whether you need webserver for development or production. For development just stick to Paste. I don't think there's one best way to host production application, but if you're not a pro in system administration, you can just go with Apache and mod_wsgi.

By the way, there's a great and comprehensive comparison of Python WSGI servers at http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers.
