Reverse proxy capable pure python webserver?

Question

I am looking for a pure python based web server has the capability for reverse proxy as well?

Answer 1

Have a look at Twisted, especially its ReverseProxyResource.

Twisted Web also provides various facilities for being set up behind a reverse-proxy, which is the suggested mechanism to integrate your Twisted application with an existing site.

Answer 2

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/proxylet/

From http://www.rfk.id.au/blog/entry/proxylet-lightweight-HTTP-reverse-proxy

proxylet is a lightweight reverse proxy for HTTP with nonblocking IO courtesy of eventlet.

Looks like source is available as well. I've never used it, as we use IHS for all our reverse proxy needs.
