This cartridge provides Python WSGI on Jelastic Platform.
Python is a widely used high-level programming language designed to support multiple programming paradigms, such as object-oriented, imperative and functional programming. It is focused on improving developer productivity and code readability. Main properties of Python are case sensitive, implicitly typed code and automatic memory management.
WSGI (stands for Web Server Gateway Interface) is an interface specification for simple and universal interaction between web server and Python web applications. Both sides interfaces are specified (i.e. server and application), what means that if application, framework or toolkit is written to WSGI specification, then it will run on any server written to that specification. Therefore you can easily host your Python application with Jelastic.
For more details refer to the Jelastic documentation.

Jelastic Platform-as-Infrastructure supports OpenShift’s cartridge model to make it easier for independent software vendors (ISVs) offering core services in multiple platforms and for a wider array of cloud ecosystems and marketplaces. This open standard for technology packaging and deployment enables ISVs and end-users to integrate their own middleware, databases, and services into the platform and make them available to PaaS developers building applications.
A cartridge is an advanced packaging format. In our case, it is represented with existing OpenShift cartridge specifications, extended with Jelastic configurations, to provide more complex functionality and the ability to make adjustments in Jelastic. This additional tuning is required based on the difference between the architectures of the two platforms (Jelastic and OpenShift).
Such configuration is quite easy - you just need to fork a basic cartridge and add custom settings. Detailed instruction on how to create your own cartridge can be seen here.
Ready cartridge (your own or one of those we’ve already prepared for you) can be added to the Jelastic PaI via JCA. After that it should be tested and published in order to become available through the dashboard. Find out the details in this instruction.
