Such as, mod_fcgid is already installed for running perl, ruby, php. Some hosts still do not support django, so there may well be interest in stopping this gap. > So it should > be easy to have this be a third-party option that people could download > and use if they wanted to go that way. In that case it would be good to have a link from the documentation to it so that people can find it. Otherwise, I really don't care whether it is in 'blessed', 'sneered_at', 'gitmo' or 'leper'. > > Also, since Robin's module works both in a cgi and fcgi context, > > switching a django site between cgi and fastcgi is a one-liner > > Albeit a really bad idea for something like Django unless things like, > say, performance are not an objective. :-( CGI can be useful for development, since you get your code refreshed on every hit, but you can still work with a setup that is similar to your production environment. Also, CGI takes about 0.2 sec on my old laptop, so depending on the app and the load CGI may be perfectly sufficient. Not every site is Google. > It's 2009 already.

If it remains third party, you won't have to support it. Also, the underlying code is by Robin Dunn, he of wxPython, so chances are the code works. Code doesn't need oil changes.
