ISAPIWSGIHelper 0.1.0dev

Introduction

ISAPIWSGIHelper is a small command line script and some helper utilities to help bootstrap deployment of WSGI applications using isapi-wsgi with Microsoft IIS.

Prerequisites

The following should be installed:

• Python

• Python Win32 Extensions

In addition, python’s scripts directory should already be in your path. If commands like easy_install or pip already function, you should be good to go.

You should be familiar with IIS and how to load ISAPI extensions into websites and virtual directories.

Dependencies

• argparse

• isapi_wsgi

Usage

The “iwhelper” command is installed when installing the ISAPIWSGIHelper package.

A virtualenv is recommended, but not required:

> cd c:\somewhere\myproj-venv

> virtualenv .

> iwhelper

The above will result in a virtualenv with the addition of a isapi-wsgi directory in the root of the venv. Edit isapi-wsgi\\appinit.py according to the comments in that file.

Then, setup your website or a virtualdirectory with a wildcard mapping that uses isapi-wsgi\\__loader.dll.
