Apparently, I don't know how to use Google groups. I think I sent something directly to Russell, and it wasn't posted here. Oops. Here it is again (from memory):
It takes more than just running gunicorn. You'd have to setup Apache or Nginx in front. And if Django needs to handle the request first (for authentication purposes), then you would have to configure something like xsendfile as well. The Django server was included "so you can develop things rapidly, without having to deal with configuring a production server". If you happen to be developing with HTML 5 video and audio, the Django server doesn't live up to its stated goal.
