[Flask] Using Flask with Apache2.4 on Windows 7?

[Alex Hall]

Thanks. I'd looked on that page, but couldn't remember why it failed. Now,
having tried it again, I do. I'm on 64-bit Windows, which the readme for
Windows (linked to on the page you sent) says is problematic. I followed
the instructions, but when Apache starts, it gives me an error that
mod_wsgi.so is not a valid win32 application. Plus, the Windows readme is
full of warnings, caviats, and the like.

Is there a web server that is as robust as Apache, but that is more
friendly to Flask? I've never had so much trouble getting Python to work,
and that counts trying to use Py2Exe on an app that uses WX. :)
