pyuwsgi
The uWSGI server
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you want to manage uWSGI as a Python dependency and avoid system-level installation or compilation. The pre-built wheels cover common platforms and Python versions, and the GPLv2 linking exception removes licensing friction for proprietary projects. No if you need SSL support out of the box or prefer uWSGI as a standalone binary managed outside Python's package ecosystem.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- SSL support is intentionally excluded from pre-built wheels for security; rebuild locally with `pip install --no-binary=pyuwsgi pyuwsgi` if SSL is required.
- Medium install friction due to compiled wheels; pre-built binaries are available for common platforms (macOS, Linux, musl) and Python versions, reducing the need for local compilation in most cases.

What it is and what it does
pyuwsgi is the uWSGI application server packaged as a Python module rather than a standalone binary. It lets you run a production-grade WSGI server directly from Python code or via console scripts (pyuwsgi and uwsgi), with pre-built wheels that bundle common libraries (zlib, pcre, jansson) to avoid compilation on most platforms.
The package is built directly from uWSGI's source without modifications, using a different setup.py to integrate it into the Python ecosystem. It includes the stats_pusher_statsd plugin by default and intentionally omits SSL support from pre-built wheels; SSL can be added by rebuilding locally if needed. It's a drop-in replacement for uWSGI when you want to manage it as a Python dependency rather than a system package.
Use it for
- Deploy a Python WSGI application as a managed server without installing uWSGI separately on the system.
- Run uWSGI configuration and management entirely within Python code, importing and calling it programmatically.
- Package a complete application server as part of a Python environment or container without relying on system package managers.
- Use the stats_pusher_statsd plugin for metrics collection without additional uWSGI configuration.
