#
# Gives this example
# uwsgi --paste config:/opt/tg2env/addressbook/development.ini --socket :3031 -H /opt/tg2env

# Running on my machine (paths adapted to Ubuntu 16.04)
$ uwsgi --paste config:/home/ubuntu/stethoscope/production.ini --socket :3031 -H /home/ubuntu/env

# Gives this error:
uwsgi --paste config:/home/ubuntu/stethoscope/production.ini --socket :3031 -H /home/ubuntu/env
uwsgi: unrecognized option '--paste'
getopt_long() error

# Viewing the uwsgi source code, the "paste" option is defined in https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/blob/master/plugins/python/python_plugin.c

# Therefore invoking with python plugin
$ uwsgi --plugin python3 --paste config:/home/ubuntu/stethoscope/production.ini --socket :3031 -H /home/ubuntu/env

# Gives this output:
