Http Streaming With Apache Mod_wsgi

I've got an ubuntu-server where I am running multiple web-apps. All of them are hosted by Apache using named VirtualHosts. One of them is a Flask app, which is running via mod_wsgi

Solution 1:

If the clients never disconnect, yes, you will eventually run out of processes/threads to handle more requests.

You are more than likely better off using a async framework such as Tornado or Twisted for this specific type of application. Doing async programming can be tricky if you aren't used to that concept.

Some people use coroutine system such as gevent/eventlet, but they also have their own problems you have to watch out for.
