Configuration File

The configuration file should be a valid Python source file with a python extension (e.g. gunicorn.conf.py). It only needs to be readable from the file system. More specifically, it does not have to be on the module path (sys.path, PYTHONPATH). Any Python is valid. Just consider that this will be run every time you start Gunicorn (including when you signal Gunicorn to reload).

To set a parameter, just assign to it. There’s no special syntax. The values you provide will be used for the configuration values.

For instance:

import multiprocessing
bind = "127.0.0.1:8000"
workers = multiprocessing.cpu_count() * 2 + 1

All the settings are mentioned in the settings list.
