waitress VS Poe the Poet

I have spent hours reviewing and testing ways of making waitress exit cleanly (like this and this) but the best I can do so far is a kind of suicidal SIGINT which makes Windows complain "the pipe has been ended" when stopping through the Services control panel, but at least it stops :-/ I guess the pythonservice.exe which pywin32 starts, should not terminate, just the waitress treads?

Waitress - for serving your application easily (pairs very well with Whitenoise).

If you’re delegating your load balancing to something else further up the stack and would prefer a simpler WSGI server than Gunicorn, Waitress is worth a look: https://github.com/pylons/waitress

Compatible with the new pyproject.toml standard, and working well with poetry, there's poethepoet. It's a good alternative, it keeps in the python environment, it's installable through pip(x), and it's cross platform for the windows pythonistas (and there are some, not everyone has more than 1 computer at home...)

I use Poe The Poet https://github.com/nat-n/poethepoet.

So the Poetry maintainer has explained here about why they don’t have the better scripts support you mentioned. However, someone has already built this plugin for Poetry to achieve it.

Poe the Poet, probably.

I've been working on this tool for a while now, which I'm starting to feel is ready for a bit more exposure, it's called Poe the Poet.

poe: Not Django-specific, but nice task-runner that uses pyproject.toml
