mod_wsgi for Django on Mac OSX 10.5.8
Gunicorn is the fastest way to having a production ready web server serving your site that I've found in the Django realm. It is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. 
Steps involved to deploy your site using gunicorn:


pip install gunicorn
Add 'gunicorn' your installed apps listed in settings.py
./manage.py run_gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:8001 --daemon
I'm a newbie learning Django, and couldn't get the development server accessible externally. So I'm looking into other deployment options. It seems that mod_wsgi is the way to go (with Apache), but it only supports OSX 10.6+. Are there any alternatives if you own 10.5.8?
