grainbows 0.1.1

for WSGI application:

To launch the example application packaged with Grainbows:

$ cd /path/to/grainbows/examples/
$ grainbows websocket:app

and then go on http://localhost:8000 to see the result.

Note : by default the configuration is set to use eventlet. If you want to test with gevent, edit grainbows.conf.py file and replace use=”eventlet” by use=”gevent”.

The module test_keepalive:app specifies the complete module name and WSGI callable. You can replace it with anything that is available on your PYTHONPATH like such:

$ cd ~/
$ grainbows -c /path/to/configfile.py awesomeproject.wsgi.main:main_app
