We use a combination of nginx and to run our Django things at work. It works well. The relevant configs are attached. http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

daemontool run file

#!/usr/bin/env bash
type='django'
site='timheap.me'
project='tfs-roster'

sitepath="/var/www/$site/$project"
pid="$sitepath/var/pid"
socket="$sitepath/var/socket"

source "$sitepath/venv/bin/activate"
cd "$sitepath/src"

exec setuidgid www-data \
    python manage.py runfcgi \
        socket="$socket" \
        pidfile="$pid" \
        maxrequests=100 \
        minspare=1 maxspare=2 \
        daemonize=False
