I'm all about evaluating alternatives to gunicorn. Waitress [1] is one that already supports Windows and I think is worth looking at; all it's missing is auto-reload capability (but I think we could easily layer that on top of it if we want). The CherryPy web server I think could be another great candidate, it's just a little weird that it's not distributed independently of the CherryPy framework. Practically I don't think that'd be an issue (CherryPy is small), it's just a little odd to say "install this other Python web framework to serve your Django project." mod_wsgi-express looks clever, but AFAICT it still has a hard dependency on Apache httpd and a compile tool-chain (which also makes me doubt that it supports Windows or ever will), it just does some cleverness to smuggle Apache in and compile it via "pip install". I definitely don't think that for a built-in dev server we should choose something that requires a compilation tool-chain.
