Does Gunicorn run on Windows


Technically this is not an answer. But practically the answer I was looking for is how to run a WSGI web app (like Django) on Windows, and for those who got into this page because of that, here it is:

I'm using waitress now, very good alternative :)

Basically all you have to do is replace the gunicorn call with:

waitress-serve --listen=*:8000 myapp.wsgi:application

For typical apps this will give you the same result as running gunicorn. :) Good luck!


Gunicorn is for a UNIX environment and is incompatible with Windows.Also for more info please refer to it's docs.


Edit: there's now a plan to add Windows support. https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/524


No. Gunicorn doesn't run on Windows. It's very design is to take 'advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels'.
