I'm using it with Django. Is there a better option I'm not aware of? Everything else they suggested in the manual seemed too hackish - though I'm not a fan of Apache either!
nginx, lighttpd worked with Django with WSGI mode.
I still use apache just because I can use subversion with it.
I'll have to take another look at that. We're bottlenecked by static file serving on a per server basis (a typical page is 1.5-6mb of traffic), so it's not a big priority. But it definitely will be if we move to separated out static + dynamic servers, or if we build out more dynamic places on the site that don't involve serving up a game.

Haha, I forgot all about that. But Zed would know what to do. So it's true.
